LIVERMORE FALLS — Staff from Healthy Community Coalition of Greater Franklin County will conduct door-to-door visits in the Livermore and Livermore Falls communities to provide education and information about the importance of timely screenings to detect breast and colorectal cancer and to offer support for those needing help to meet their health care needs.

Many individuals in Livermore and Livermore Falls have limited transportation options. This outreach effort is made possible through grant support from Susan G. Komen Maine and the Maine Cancer Foundation.
