LEWISTON — “Better Care, Lower Cost,” the final installment of a six-part mini-medical school educational series sponsored by Central Maine Medical Center and the Central Maine Heart and Vascular Institute, will be presented from 6:30 to 8 p.m Wednesday, Nov. 10, at G65 Pettengill Hall, Bates College.

Edmund Claxton Jr., M.D., of the Central Maine Family Medicine Residency Program, will discuss evidence showing that a shift away from a traditional health care approach to one that is more patient-centered and coordinated results in better quality care at lower cost.

He will talk about how modern delivery systems can lead to improved patient outcomes and more cost-effective health care.

Anyone wishing to register for the program or seeking more information is urged to call 795-8448 or e-mail prevention@cmhc.org. The program will be presented at no charge.

Interpreter services are available upon advance request.
