In Partnership with Maine CDC, we deploy Community Health Workers to address the challenges and barriers members of our communities face in accessing equitable healthcare services. CHW’s help reduce disparities in care and improve our clients’ health outcomes.

We offer culturally appropriate nutrition classes. Learn about the importance of eating a balanced diet, and how to choose healthy foods that are culturally appropriate. We strive to empower the community so they can take control of their health, and help create a brighter, healthier future for everyone. We strongly believe that small changes to our diets can have a big impact on our health.
