Three Rivers will be hosting In The Thick LIVE on October 16! Award-winning journalists and In The Thick co-hosts Maria Hinojosa and Julio Ricardo Varela travel to Eastern Connecticut for a live show to discuss addiction in POC communities in CT and nationally, as well as the mental health impact with guests.

Drug addiction continues to plague the United States. And though it’s often treated as an issue within white communities – who do make up a majority of opioid overdose victims – a CDC report released earlier this year found that black and Latinos are overdosing and dying increasingly faster than whites are. Connecticut has been seen as ground zero for the epidemic where the Oxycontin-maker Purdue Pharma was based and 93 percent of overdoses in the state, are caused by opioids. But the local community has been organizing to save lives around the state.

This event is open to the public and will be held in F-117. Doors open at 5:30 pm and live show recording will begin promptly at 6 pm. RSVP for your free seat at threerivers.edu/inthethick.

This live taping of In The Thick is made possible through support from the Community Foundation of Eastern Connecticut and the William Caspar Graustein Memorial Fund.

Join us Tuesday, October 15 for Marcus Engel’s keynote presentation. As a college freshman, Marcus Engel was blinded and nearly killed after being struck by a drunk driver. Through years of rehab, over 350 hours of reconstructive facial surgery, and adaptation through a multitude of life changes, Engel witnessed the good, the bad and the profound in patient care. Join us as he shares his experiences as a young patient and the extensive effect that healthcare professionals had upon him. Free and open to the public, the event will be held at Three Rivers Community College on Tuesday, October 15, 2019, 10:00 a.m. and again at 5:00 p.m. in room F-117. The presentation is part of the Dr. Booker T. DeVaughn lecture series, which is funded by the Three Rivers College Foundation and Dime Bank.

“The Other End of the Stethoscope” reminds healthcare professionals of the vital role they play in the healing process of patients. This keynote details the experience of a young patient during hospitalization, the care and compassion shown by health care professionals and the importance of health care professionals to be safe, secure and appreciated in their role within this sacred field.

Marcus Engel, M.S., CPXP, CSP is a Certified Speaking Professional and author whose messages provide insight and strategies for excellent patient care. His keynote presentation, “The Other End of the Stethoscope” has inspired and educated tens of thousands of healthcare professionals to improve patient experiences through compassionate communication during their time of suffering.

This free presentation will appeal to a broad audience but will be of special interest to health care professionals, police officers, firefighters and first responders. Space is limited, so reserve your seat today by calling or emailing Meghan LaCasse at Mlacasse@trcc.commnet.edu and 860-215-9249.
