PACE
Northumberland PACE speakers' series
A collaborative between community health-care providers and local residents interested in learning more and promoting health and wellness, PACE (which stands for Personalized Assessment and Change Education) began as a TED Talks-inspired speakers' series previously hosted (on a rotating basis) at Northumberland Hills Hospital in Cobourg and the Community Health Centres of Northumberland, in Port Hope. Due to the physical distancing requirements of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have temporarily moved the event to a virtual format, using Zoom.
Northumberland Hills Hospital, the Northumberland Family Health Team, the Community Health Centres of Northumberland, internal medicine specialists IMCare and local patients and caregivers are all represented on the Northumberland PACE planning table, together with the Ontario Health Team of Northumberland.
From October 2024 through June 2025, talks are planned monthly the fourth Thursday of the month at 5:30 PM. One hour in total, each talk consists of a 30-minute presentation followed by a 20-minute, interactive question and answer speaker/audience discussion and a short moderator summary to conclude.
"Seats" continue to be available free of charge, on a first-come, first reserved basis. Pre-registration is required. After registering you should receive a confirmation email containing the necessary link/login information. For information on our next session, and links to recordings of previous events, please see below. Questions? Contact Amy Seymour at 905-372-6811, ext. 4009 or aseymour@nhh.ca
