This informational session will cover the current guidelines for cervical\, breast\, colon\, and lung cancer screenings\, as well as bone density scans. What do they tell us and not tell us? How are they done? At what age should I have a particular screening? What happens next if I have a positive result? Information is empowering\, and the goal of this presentation is to provide accurate\, up-to-date\, clear information. There will be plenty of time at the end of each segment to answer participants’ questions. \n \n \n \n \n \n Facilitator Bio: Mary Seterdahl\, FNP-C is a Nurse Practitioner in Western Massachusetts specializing in Primary Care and Family Practice. As an RN\, she worked in Cardiac Telemetry\, Medical Surgical\, and College Health. As a Nurse Practitioner\, she works at a Family Practice in Greenfield\, MA and at Smith College\, an all-women’s college. Working with individuals throughout their life span and focusing on preventative health\, Mary finds helping patients navigate decisions about health and cancer screenings highly rewarding and potentially life-saving. When not working\, Mary enjoys practicing yoga\, cooking\, reading\, and spending time with her family and her dogs. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n Health and Cancer Screenings for Women\n \n X/TwitterThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.Health and Cancer Screenings for Women6 seats available.\n \n \n Price:\n \n \n \n Waitlist(Required)\n \n I wish to be signed up for the Waitlist\n Your InformationName(Required)Space is limited - register ONLY one person at a time. \n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email(Required)\n \n Phone(Required)Mailing Address(Required) \n \n \n \n Street Address\n \n \n City\n \n AlabamaAlaskaAmerican SamoaArizonaArkansasCaliforniaColoradoConnecticutDelawareDistrict of ColumbiaFloridaGeorgiaGuamHawaiiIdahoIllinoisIndianaIowaKansasKentuckyLouisianaMaineMarylandMassachusettsMichiganMinnesotaMississippiMissouriMontanaNebraskaNevadaNew HampshireNew JerseyNew MexicoNew YorkNorth CarolinaNorth DakotaNorthern Mariana IslandsOhioOklahomaOregonPennsylvaniaPuerto RicoRhode IslandSouth CarolinaSouth DakotaTennesseeTexasUtahU.S. Virgin IslandsVermontVirginiaWashingtonWest VirginiaWisconsinWyomingArmed Forces AmericasArmed Forces EuropeArmed Forces Pacific\n State\n \n \n ZIP Code\n \n \n Is there anything else we should know?

Within all of us lies the wisdom to heal and to be well. Oftentimes\, the reason that we don’t heal or feel our best is that we don’t know how to get out of our own way. Unhealthy habits\, negative thought patterns\, or simply being unaware can all be hindrances that we create for ourselves! \nBritta will lead a discussion of mindful eating\, nutrition\, self-care practices\, stress management techniques\, and more. You can expect to come away with concrete ideas for taking better care of yourself and integrating mindfulness into your daily life. You will learn practical tools to improve and protect your health\, and you will explore how to listen and respect the subtle signals our bodies and minds are so often sending us – signs that something is out of balance and needs attention\, asking us to make changes such as slowing down and making time to take better care of ourselves – BEFORE we become ill. \nThis class is designed for anyone who would like to improve their overall well-being or explore personal growth through self-awareness practices. Britta will incorporate gentle stretching into this program\, so come prepared for some light movement. This is a welcoming and judgment-free zone. \nPlease plan to bring the following with you to class: \n\nBlanket\nComfortable clothes\nYoga mat\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Britta Sunde is dedicated to improving her patients’ wellness journeys in Downeast Maine.
