Listen & Learn Lecture Series
"Listen & Learn" is a free series of talks for the community by physicians on health and wellness topics in an effort to help area residents stay well. Participants learn from experts in the field about medical topics and prevention strategies, and how to sort through confusing consumer health information available to consumers. Topics will cover a broad range of issues. The program, a part of St. Vincent’s mission of outreach to the community, is open to the general public, and will rotate sites for the talks among area towns. The lecture program is a collaboration between St. Vincent’s Club 50/Boomers’ Group and its Physician Services.
