What a milestone moment for Maine's Community Health Worker (CHW) community!

On Tuesday, Leslie Lorentzen, MPCA’s Workforce Program Manager, joined the MECHW Initiative in her advisory board role to celebrate the launch of CHW certification in Maine, alongside HealthReach, MMHP, and CHWs and allies from across the state.

It was an enthusiastic and inspiring event. CHWs are eager to connect, advocate for policy-level change, and find spaces to share resources and best practices with one another. Conversations like these remind us why MPCA is so committed to supporting this critical workforce.

Congratulations to everyone who made CHW certification in Maine a reality. This is a very significant launch. 💙

Across the United States, Community Health Centers are the primary delivery system for pediatric care, especially for children with limited access to care.

New analysis from NACHC’s Dr. John W. Hatch Center for Science shows that 1 in 4 Medicaid-covered and uninsured children rely on Community Health Centers.

As the largest primary care system for low-income children, Community Health Centers play a central role in pediatric care, where policy decisions directly impact access today and shape lifelong health through prevention.

Yesterday, MPCA had the privilege of hosting a Gubernatorial Candidate Forum at the historic Governor Hill Mansion in Augusta. Nine candidates from across the political spectrum joined us for an engaging and thoughtful discussion on some of the most pressing health care issues facing our state, including access to primary care, community health center sustainability, workforce challenges, and affordability. The conversation reflected the urgency and importance of these issues for Maine's Community Health Centers and the more than 200,000 Maine people they care for each year.

As Maine's next chapter of leadership takes shape in Augusta, MPCA remains committed to ensuring that primary care and Community Health Centers are priorities at the highest levels of state government. We look forward to continuing these critical conversations.

We are grateful to our moderator, Carol Kelly, for leading such a productive and balanced dialogue, and to our sponsors, MeHAF and Drummond Woodsum Strategic Consulting, for their partnership and support in making this event possible.
