Atlantic General Hospital recently received a $2000.00 grant from the Coastal
Bays Association to help fund this year’s “Visions for Total
Health” Conference to be held on Saturday, Aug. 26, 2006.
The grant was awarded to bring speakers and exhibits to the conference
to educate the public about various issues affecting environmental health,
one of three themes that will be covered at the annual conference. The
environmental health tract will explore the health of our soil, air and
coastal bays and what impact the environment has on the health of our
communities.
“We feel that it’s important to include the environment health
theme in this year’s conference because the health of the environment
is so closely tied to our community’s total health” said Leila
McCann, “Visions for Total Health” coordinator.
The other two themes of the conference are complimentary and alternative
health, and traditional medicine.
For more information about the 2006 conference or its keynote speaker,
world famous journalist and physician, Dr. Bob Arnott, please call Leila
McCann, “Visions for Total Health” coordinator, at 410-641-9268.
