LEWISTON — St. Mary’s Regional Medical Center, LePage Conference Center, Maine CDC and the Departments of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry and Inland Fisheries and Wildlife are partnering with the Western Public Health District to present a Lyme Disease Prevention Forum from 10 a.m. to noon Friday, May 31, at the LePage Conference Center.

The purpose is to inform those who work and play outside in the Western Public Health District (Androscoggin, Franklin and Oxford counties) about Lyme disease and how to prevent it.

Agency and local subject matter experts on human Lyme disease and deer ticks, their habitat and control will provide information and tools on the prevention of Lyme disease. There will be time for questions and answers.
