Western Maryland AHEC West is sponsoring a special candlelight vigil on Saturday as part of International Overdose Awareness Day.

“We will hear from three presenters that will talk about their story or how overdose has affected their family.  It will be individuals and family members.  One lady has lost her son to overdose so she is going to be speaking and then some other folks.”
