Registration: A conversation with Rose Lundy

Join The Maine Monitor for a special discussion Wednesday, June 26 with public health reporter Rose Lundy at Skidompha Public Library in Damariscotta at 10 a.m.

Learn about The Maine Monitor, the journalistic process, and Rose’s reporting, including her investigation, in partnership with ProPublica, into Maine’s residential care facilities.

She uncovered how thousands of aging Mainers are being sent to “nonmedical” residences unequipped to handle more intensive health needs, Maine rarely sanctions residential care facilities even after severe abuse or neglect incidents, and Maine’s health department rarely investigates when residents wander away from their care facilities.

This event is being presented thanks to Susan Murphy of Newcastle through The Maine Monitor Local Ambassadors program. The Maine Monitor invites Mainers interested in hosting a Maine Monitor reporter in their community to talk about our reporting, community priorities and interests, and how our investigative and in-depth reporting and events can serve their community.
