Families are invited to attend a FREE Maternal Mobile Health Clinic on Monday, April 6 from 1–4PM at St. Hyacinth’s Church (268 Bridge St, Westbrook).

From 1–3PM, Portland Public Health will be offering free blood lead screenings.
Testing is especially encouraged for families living in homes built before 1978 and:
• Are under 6 years old
