For nearly a decade, Peter Alfond served on the Maine General Health board of directors.  Through the creation of the Peter Alfond Prevention and Healthy Living Center, Peter was able to create innovative wellness programs.  These programs helped bridge conventional medical practices with alternative approaches to facilitate a more holistic approach to healing.  To further this mission, MaineGeneral serves Augusta, Maine and surrounding communities by offering programs out of its teaching kitchen, a community health worker program, and other programs seeking to understand and improve behaviors related to chronic illness, nutrition, physical activity and mind/body work.
