MPCA and Maine’s Community Health Centers were proud to stand alongside thousands of CHC advocates on Capitol Hill yesterday, making the case for strong, sustainable primary care.

We met with our congressional delegation to discuss rebasing Medicare PPS rates, protecting 340B, addressing workforce challenges, and underscoring just how vital Medicaid is to our patients and providers.

Thank you to our delegation and their staff for taking the time to meet with us and for your continued support of Maine’s Community Health Centers.

On Tuesday, the Maine Primary Care Association, Community Health Centers, legislators, health care advocates, and other interested parties testified before the Health Coverage, Insurance and Financial Services Committee in strong support of LD 2151, An Act to Improve Access to Affordable Prescription Drugs in Underserved Areas. This bipartisan legislation would help Community Health Centers develop and expand their capacity to provide affordable, accessible pharmacy services for patients. We are at a crisis point in Maine, and it is essential to invest in strengthening pharmacy access through the state’s Community Health Centers.
