What’s New at Southern Maine Health Care

Sanford Cancer Care Welcomes Rebecca Tryon, LCSW

I knew from a young age that I wanted to help people in some way. This desire has led me in many different directions including supporting refugees new to Maine, assisting people to obtain and retain employment, and facilitating access to resources to support their families. I graduated from the University of Southern Maine with a BS in Sociology and then returned to USM and graduated with a Master of Social Work degree. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have supported adults involved in the criminal justice system work on past trauma, grief and loss, significant mental health diagnoses, and substance use. During this time, I was fortunate to be able to conduct research and publish two articles which demonstrated the importance of storytelling in the healing and recovery process. I am excited to learn and grow along with my new MaineHealth team. When not at work, I love to garden and spend time with my two adult daughters.

Tee Off Against Breast Cancer: Pink On The Links

The Biddeford-Saco Country Club Ladies, with the support of the members, board and staff, are proud to host this year’s 27th annual scramble. We team up with the SMHC Center for Breast Care in order to pair with a local facility where patients who want to stay close to home can still receive the same level of care. We feel like this is a good match for our goal of raising funds to fight breast cancer in our community. Breast cancer is an unwelcome visitor in any woman’s life. Join us in a day of support for all that have been touched by this disease. Over the past 11 years, we have raised over $148,000 to support this important cause.

When: July 21, 2023

Where: Biddeford-Saco Country Club 101 Old Orchard Road, Saco
