Wellness Wednesdays “Lunch and Learns” started with a few programs last year to invite area providers to come share their knowledge to area residents in a casual, inviting, conversational manner. In 2025, the programming committee decided to continue the conversations and find monthly speakers with more area partners. Mark your calendar for April 23, 2025 for the kick off lunch with the lead care coordinator, Sherry Perkins, LPN, from Choptank Health.
Sherry’s talk will focus on population health and the wrap around/support services offered by the team at Choptank Health. She will also share current trends on immunizations.
To define it further, the population health team consists of RN Care Coordinators, Care Navigators and Community Health workers who work together to improve the health of the community by addressing the factors that influence health outcomes beyond individual medical care. Choptank Health has a team for each of their practice sites who act as wrap around support for patients through transitions of care (such as inpatient or ER discharges), provide chronic disease management plans focused on self-management and disease education. Their Community Health Workers provide a bridge from the clinic to social and community resources that patients may need, such as transportation support, medical supply resources, food assistance, and housing assistance.
Wellness Wednesdays are free and open to the public. They begin at 11:00 AM with the speaker presentation and Q&A until 12 noon. Lunch starts at noon with continued fellowship and conversation encouraged. Bring your own lunch. Oxford Community Center (OCC) will supply light refreshments. Please RSVP. Seating is limited to thirty (30) people. Future dates are:
May 28th and June 11th. Please check the OCC website for upcoming speaker information.
