LEWISTON — Practical solutions for fixing the health care system will be discussed at Lifetree Café  at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, June 1, at 1919 Lisbon Road.

The program, titled “Curing Healthcare: Practical Help for an Ailing Nation,” features a filmed interview with health care insider Joe Flower, author of “Healthcare Beyond Reform.”

“In our system, even a person with a good job and good insurance is one serious disease away from bankruptcy and permanent poverty,” says Fowler. “To me, there is something screwy about that, and it’s something we can fix.”

In a second program, Lifetree will discuss the power of music to affect mood, enhance mental state and aid in physical well being. This program will be held at 8:30 a.m. Sunday, June 4.

“Unlocking the Mystery of Music: New Findings on How Music Heals and Relieves,” features a filmed interview with Sarah Johnson, a neurologic music therapist.

“The power of music does come on many different levels, and it’s probably different for every person,” Johnson says. “It grabs our attention and is a very motivating stimulus to listen to.”

During the program, participants will have the opportunity to discuss how music can help them accomplish personal goals.

Admission to the 60-minute events are free. Lifetree Café is a place where people gather for conversation about life and faith in a casual, comfortable setting.
