“Eating Healthy on a Budget” will be the topic of a presentation set for the August 18 meeting of the Central and Western Maine ICD Support Group, held at Central Maine Medical Center.
Registered dietitian Meg Ploss will discuss why a healthy diet doesn’t have to be an expensive diet.
The Central and Western Maine ICD Support Group is for individuals who have an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). Family members and other support persons are also welcomed to attend. The meeting provides a forum for discussion regarding experiences with ICD and presents learning opportunities not only about living with the devices, but about cardiac health issues.
A graduate of the University of Delaware and the University of Massachusetts, Ploss holds a master’s degree in her specialty. She has nutrition experience in gastroenterology, cystic fibrosis, heart healthy diets and renal diets for adults, children and infants. She is presently a per diem dietitian at Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston.
The meeting will be held from 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the Central Maine Heart and Vascular Institute first-floor conference room, at 300 Main St. in Lewiston.
The program is being offered free of charge. For more information, call or email physician assistant Joe Sala at 753-3900 or salaj@cmhc.org
