Back by popular demand to build on the successes of prior years, Medisys’ free health seminars for executives and HR professionals got underway in March in major centres across Canada. The first of the three national seminars in 2011 addressed stress and mental health issues and we were gratified by the positive comments that we received from attendees.

The second seminar is being presented in June and it forms part of the women’s health series that is intended for a female audience.

This year’s women’s health topic is cancer prevention. The speaker is Dr. Vivien Brown, Medisys’ National Director for Women’s Health. In addition to her responsibilities at Medisys, Dr. Brown is a family physician with a community-based practice in Toronto and she is also on staff at Mount Sinai Hospital, The University Health Network and North York General Hospital. She maintains her commitment to continuing education for family physicians by lecturing frequently on preventive medicine and she is in great demand as a speaker at national and international conferences.

Dr. Brown is sharing her insights into women’s cancer prevention at seminars in Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver on the following dates:

• June 14 – Toronto
• June 16 – Montreal
• June 17 – Ottawa
• June 23 - Calgary
• June 24 - Vancouver

The sessions are free of charge but by invitation only. If you haven’t received an invitation and wish to attend, contact us and we’ll be happy to add you to the guest list if a place is available.
