Peace Island Medical Center (PIMC), at 1117 Spring Street, is hosting its third in a series of free, public community education “Fireside Chats” as part of its “Healthy You” program.

The next Fireside Chat will be presented by Jason Heiner, MD, from 4 to 5 p.m. on Wednesday, March 18 in the PIMC lobby by the fireplace. The topic is “Alcohol and Drug Poisoning Treatment in the Emergency Department: a Chat for Teens and Young Adults.”

Dr. Heiner’s talk, which was well-received at Western Washington University, covers:

• The impact of alcohol and drugs;
• Myths and facts about what happens in the emergency department; and
• Myths and facts about the safety of substance use.

Dr. Heiner, an emergency department physician, graduated from the University of Vermont College of Medicine and completed both internship and residency at Madigan Army Medical Center.

Fireside Chats are offered the third Wednesday of each month, with a summer hiatus. Upcoming Fireside Chats will focus on “Medicare Wellness” in April and in May a repeat of the popular talk on Advance Directives for end-of-life care.

Healthy You is a program that provides resources, tools and information to support individuals in their health and wellness journey.
