LEWISTON – “Staying Healthy as a ‘Weekend Warrior’ or the ‘New Athlete'” will be the topic of a special presentation set for Thursday, June 12, at Central Maine Medical Center.

Dr. Peter E. Sedgwick, a sports medicine specialist, will discuss how individuals can “get out and get moving on an exercise program.”

“While the health benefits of becoming more active are enormous, there are some key points to follow to avoid injury and problems if you have not maintained the fitness you had in your 20s,” said Sedgwick.

A graduate of Williams College in Williamstown, Mass., and the University of South Florida in Tampa, Fla., Sedgwick earned his medical degree at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester, Mass.

He served residencies in family medicine and sports medicine at Maine Medical Center in Portland. He practices with Central Maine Sports Medicine in Lewiston.

The free presentation will be held beginning at 6 p.m. in the Central Maine Heart and Vascular Institute Cardiac Rehabilitation Education Room on the first floor of the Young Wing.
