Maine’s Pharmacy Experts #164

Saturday, November 1, 2014

Accessing Health #163

Friday, October 24, 2014

It is critical for people to have access to health care. Far too many families become devastated by unexpected health care costs, and far too many individuals are unable to seek the medical assistance they need, often delaying diagnosis and treatment for serious problems. Today we address this issue with Dr. Wendy Wolf, founding president of the Maine Health Access Foundation, Vanessa Santarelli, CEO of the Maine Primary Care Association,  patient outreach and enrollment specialist, Lisa Lemieux, and Penobscot Community Health Care chief medical officer, Dr. Noah Nesin. If you, or someone you know, does not currently have access to health care, listen in and learn how you can remedy this situation.

Listen to our conversation and understand the sea in a new way.

Autism #160

Friday, October 3, 2014

Autism impacts all of us. Children and adults who have a diagnosis on the “autism spectrum” are attending school, working and playing with us. In less severe cases, we may not even recognize that this is so—and may not know the struggles that individuals with these disorders (and their families) are facing. Today we speak with Alice Chaplick and Dr. Matthew Siegel, a psychiatrist at Spring Harbor Hospital, about their experiences with autism, so that we may better understand this important issue.

Old Port Adventuring #155

Friday, August 29, 2014

It has been said that publishing is dead, but we at the Maine Media Collective know that publishing is merely transitioning, and that we have the opportunity to make a good thing even better. As wellness editor, it has been my privilege to share the good news about health with Maine magazine readers since January. In June, we launched Old Port magazine, which focuses on the goings-on around the Portland peninsula. Today we speak with Jen DeRose, editor of Old Port, and Kevin Thomas, publisher of Old Port, Maine and Maine Home + Design magazines, for a behind-the-scenes look at this exciting addition.
