LincolnHealth, in partnership with Central Lincoln County (CLC) YMCA, will be offering free blood pressure screenings during select dates of the Friday farmers' markets. The screenings will be available from 9-10 a.m. in the conference room and are currently scheduled for Dec. 28 and Jan. 11.

Community members who have high blood pressure are encouraged to participate in the YMCA’s Blood Pressure Self-Monitoring program, an evidence-based program that combines blood pressure self-monitoring, nutrition education seminars and personalized support, available at both CLC YMCA and Boothbay Region YMCA. This is an ongoing program with year-long open enrollment. To learn more, contact Casey Clark Kelley, 207-563-9622 or cclarkelley@clcymca.org.

The Damariscotta Farmers’ Market moved indoors to the CLC YMCA at 525 Main Street in Damariscotta starting back in November and runs every Friday from 9 a.m. to noon with a variety of vendors offering fresh vegetables, baked goods, pickled goods, jams and jellies, meat, seafood, cheeses, eggs, and lots of artisan products as available.
