LEWISTON — The Maine Health Workforce Forum will host a series of regional meetings this fall fall focused on one of the state’s top priorities: addressing greater demands on Maine’s health workforce. The meetings are free and open to the public.

The series of six regional meetings will be held throughout the state. The Lewiston-Auburn regional meeting will be held from 12:30-4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 3, at the University of Southern Mane Lewiston Auburn College. Registration is required. Go to: http://www.mainehealthworkforceforum.org/.

Participants from throughout the industry, including healthcare professionals and employers, policymakers, educators, and employment/labor specialists, are encouraged to attend. Each meeting will provide a platform for the region’s community to meet and network, while receiving an update on health workforce initiatives at the state and regional level, identifying and discussing barriers to workforce training and the needs of the workforce, and developing strategies to further address such needs.
