The Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Tools for Schools Program remains fully committed to our stakeholders who are working to ensure that schools are healthy places to work and learn.
This webinar series covers best ventilation and cleaning practices, intended to help school staff in responding to concerns in their facilities.
The three webinars include:
Let’s Clear the Air: Using Ventilation Practices to Promote Healthy IAQ in Schools: Learn about strategies for operating and maintaining efficient HVAC systems to provide clean and healthy air in schools. Apply findings from scientific research and guidance on ventilation to reduce the spread of viruses and bacteria using comprehensive IAQ plans and practices.
Cleaning for Health: Proactive Plans to Effectively Clean and Promote Healthy IAQ in Schools: Learn how to tailor your cleaning and maintenance plans and procedures to help implement cleaning guidance for schools and reduce the spread of viruses and bacteria. Hear about strategies for training staff and building a capable, committed team to effectively implement robust procedures focused on cleaning for health.
What Schools Need to Know: Practices and Principles for Healthy IAQ and Reducing the Spread of Viruses: Learn about strategies for developing a comprehensive IAQ management plan to proactively prevent the spread of viruses and bacteria in schools. Identify key IAQ considerations that address a range of critical areas related to controlling the spread of diseases, including ventilation, filtration and air cleaning, cleaning/disinfection of high-contact surfaces, personal protective equipment (PPE), social distancing, and managing special spaces (e.g., toilets, sick rooms, etc.).
Chronic urticaria are hives that occur most days of the week for six weeks or more. It affects more than 500,000 people in the United States. In this webinar, learn how chronic urticaria is diagnosed, treated and managed long-term.

The purpose of the Eastern Pulmonary Conference (EPC) is to plan and organize CME meetings on clinical topics in Pulmonary Medicine. EPC blends the interactivity characteristic of small regional conferences together with the cutting edge science characteristic of large national meetings. The educational goal is to share clinically relevant information which improves the diagnostic accuracy and the effectiveness of treatments with practitioners who treat pulmonary diseases. Physicians, PAs, and NPs are invited to attend.
EPC is a sizeable regional pulmonary conference that plans and conducts annual clinical and scientific CME meetings on clinical topics in Pulmonary Medicine. EPC blends the interactivity characteristic of small regional conferences with the cutting-edge science characteristic of large national meetings. Its educational goal is to share clinically useful information that improves the diagnostic accuracy and effectiveness of treatments with practitioners who treat pulmonary diseases. Its content is most relevant to pulmonary specialists, but attendance is open to all physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants.

I have been blessed to have a career spanning over 21 years of experience on the administrative and clinical side of medicine working in adult, neonatal, and pediatric critical care, transport, DME, pulmonary function testing, and ambulatory care medicine. Two years ago, I was fortunate to be offered the opportunity to join the MaineHealth Pen Bay Ambulatory Care Practices working with the Maine Partners for Health in developing a Grant Funded Asthma Program. In addition to working at Pen Bay, I work at MaineHealth Lincoln Health Critical Care Hospital and Central Maine Medical Center as a Respiratory Care Practitioner where I provide both clinical and diagnostic services for patients of all ages. I have had the privilege of being an instructor at the RN Critical Care, High Acuity, Respiratory Medication, COPD and Oxygen Equipment courses for Central Maine Medical Center.
