What’s New at St. Mary’s Empowering Our Community
Recently, St. Mary’s RNs Alice Staires and Rebecca Provost hosted two community outreach events on behalf of St. Mary’s Oncology department to share information about critical health matters, specifically focusing on prostate, testicular, colon and rectal cancer. The events, hosted at the St. Mary’s Nutrition Center in Lewiston and the High Street Congregational Church Food Pantry in Auburn, reached over 250 community members combined. To help those who did not speak English, an interpreter tablet was provided by St. Mary’s Interpreter Services and allowed Alice and Rebecca to share information in Arabic, Somalian and Portuguese. The power of collaborative community engagement in fostering health awareness and access was very visible at these events. St. Mary's Oncology remains committed to extending its reach and support within the community, working towards a healthier, more informed future!
