Public Health in Maine
Healthy Maine Partnerships (HMPs), like HCCA, work with a coalition of community partners to reduce tobacco use and exposure, increase physical activity, improve nutrition, prevent alcohol and drug abuse, and link people to health screenings and community resources to prevent and reduce the impact of chronic diseases.

The 8 District Coordinating Councils (DCC) address additional public health issues. Central District includes all of Kennebec and Somerset Counties, and all 4 HMPs in Central District are actively involved in this work. For more information about the DCC, Click here.
The State Coordinating Council for Public Health (SCC) is a representative statewide body of public health stakeholders that engages in collaborative planning and coordination. Its members provide several key functions, including: ensuring that the state public health system is ready for accreditation; obtaining statewide input for the State Health Plan; and helping to determine how best to deliver essential public health services across the state in the most efficient, effective and evidence-based manner possible.
