| Form 990, Part III, Line 4d | OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: HOW ARE YOUPUTTING YOUR HEALTH FIRST?Assembling the Puzzle:Integrated Womens HealthIn todays fast-paced world, women often find themselves juggling a multitude of responsibilities, from caring for family to excelling in the workplace. Amidst this balancing act, the importance of their own health often takes a back seat. Fortunately, healthcare providers like Behnoosh Dashti, MD and Danielle Agrella, WHNP, of Northern Light Womens Health, recognize this challenge and are offering a holistic approach to womens health.The concept centers around an integrated care setting, one that combines primary care and obstetrics/gynecology services in a seamless and convenient way: essential healthcare components under one roof, delivering a unique and cohesive healthcare experience.Dr. Dashti compares it to assembling pieces of a puzzle. We make sure that all pieces are beside each other in the same frame. I think the clinic could be seen as a frame that brings all the pieces of the puzzle of healthcare together for women all in the same place.The Womens Health Center is conveniently located within Northern Light AR Gould Hospital. Dr. Dashti points out, If they need blood tests or imaging, we can arrange that at the hospital, in some cases even on the same day. This minimizes the need for patients to travel for different tests and procedures, making care accessible and efficient.The advantages are even more apparent when considering the rural setting of Maine. Harsh winter weather can hinder travel. Patients no longer need to brave challenging conditions to access healthcare services scattered across town. Instead, they can find the care they need all in one place, says Agrella.This care model goes beyond just providing healthcare services; it empowers women to make themselves a priority. It serves as a reminder to all to place their health first so that they are better equipped to face the demands of life, for themselves and for those they love. Highlighting the importance of patient-centered care and the profound effect it can have on individual lives and the community as a whole, the collaborative spirit of these providers sets a new standard for healthcare delivery in their community, ensuring that individuals receive the care they need and deserve.Self-scheduling your MammogramAre you taking charge of your schedule?Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women. When detected early, 98 percent of patients survive. Breast cancer can be detected in a mammogram up to three years before patients can feel any changes. Screening mammograms, starting at age 40, are a crucial part of breast cancer prevention and early detection, and online self-scheduling makes it easier than ever to make sure youre up to date.Available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, you can schedule your screening mammogram whenever its convenient for you. Since beginning in June of 2022, more than 2,600 people have self-scheduled their mammogram at a Northern Light Health hospital.Visit NorthernLightHealth.org/ScheduleAMammogram to schedule your screening mammogram today.ARE YOU OK TODAY?Psychological First Aid Training: A Resource for our CommunitiesIts a warm morning in August and as the sun rises over the lake at Camp Jordan in Ellsworth; campers and counselors begin their day with a quick swim. While memories of summer camp can be some of the best, its important to be prepared if a child needs extra support. Children are facing an increasing amount of stress and emotional challenges; providing psychological first aid (PFA) training is one way were helping community organizations in our region prepare to provide support. Northern Light Acadia Hospital, in collaboration with other Northern Light Health members, provides training sessions to community partners including camp counselors, hospitals, and local schools.Jennifer Laferte-Carlson, community health manager, Northern Light Acadia Hospital, together with a team of colleagues offer the training at no cost to organizations and leaders throughout Maine.This training allows there to be a bridge to keep people safe until they can be connected with resources, says Laferte-Carlson. Training includes providing skills to identify and respond to those who have experienced trauma, being able to connect those individuals to resources and provide them with skills for self-care.Among the counselors to receive training at Camp Jordan in Ellsworth was Blair Hudson, the arts and culture director at the camp. Hudson, who is in her seventh year as a camp counselor, says the training has allowed her to be more proactive in identifying early signs of emotional distress in campers. The newfound skills help her create a safer and more supportive environment for the kids and teens under her care.I had never had any type of training in mental health or psychological first aid, so this was a great addition to my skill set, says Hudson. I came out of the training with a lot more confidence to handle certain situations on my own, and Ive been able to use it on a couple occasions over the course of the summer, specifically with children having panic attacks or experiencing other signs of trauma.Now more than ever, this training is essential for members of our communities to be equipped with the skills to recognize and address emotional distress, adds Laferte-Carlson.In a time of crisis, PFA training empowers community members to feel confident and capable in supporting others emotional well-being. It plays a significant role in reducing the stigma around seeking mental health support and enabling early intervention.For more information about psychological first aid training call the Northern Light Acadia Hospital Behavioral Health Resource Center at 207.973.6100.
