The Yarmouth Community Coronavirus Task Force is the winner of this year’s Public Health Program of Excellence Award from the Maine Public Health Association. “It’s a great honor and a real tribute to the many people in Yarmouth who volunteered to make all the activities that we’ve been involved in possible,” said Margaret Downing, one of four founding members of the 100-member task force.

The task force was honored for its “leadership, collaboration, and volunteer efforts to serve the needs of the Yarmouth community during the COVID-19 pandemic,” according to Rebecca Boulos, executive director of the MPHA.
