Event Details

Mental Illness Recovery, Health and Wellness

 

Persons with mental illness die 25 years earlier than the general population.  Most people suffering with mental illness can improve their lives through treatment.  However, most die from preventable illnesses such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and respiratory and infectious diseases. 

Advocates, Inc., the National Alliance on Mental Illness, and the MetroWest Medical Center are sponsoring two forums to address this crisis.   A free public forum will be conducted on Thursday October 1, 2009, 7:30pm to 9:00pm at the MetroWest Medical Center, Medical Arts Building, MacPherson Hall,85 Lincoln Street, Framingham MA 01702.  A CME Accredited  Clinicians Grand Rounds Forum will be conducted Tuesday October 13, 2009, 8:00am to 10:00 am MetroWest Medical Center Main Entrance, Perini Auditorium 115 Lincoln Street, Framingham MA 01702.

Two of the speakers at both events will be Dr. Christopher Gordon, M.D., Vice President of clinical services and medical director of Advocates Inc. and Dr. Deena Ebright, M.D. a board certified internist on the medical staff at MetroWest medical Center.

The National Alliance on Mental Illness of Greater Framingham is a non-profit, grassroots organization providing advocacy, support and education for persons with mental illness and their families. The MetroWest Medical Center is a 319-bed regional health care system that includes Framingham Union Hospital, Leonard Morse Hospital Natick, and the MetroWest Wellness Center Framingham.  Advocates Inc, is a leading provider of mental health and substance abuse services for individuals and families.
