A full house, incredible energy, and a first-of-its-kind gathering for our providers — the November 15th PCHC Provider Retreat was one for the books. Providers spent the morning exploring purpose, resilience, and what it means to thrive in community-based primary care, followed by inspiring talks from Dr. Nirav Shah, Professor at Colby College and former Director of the Maine CDC, and Danny Williams, President of the PCHC Foundation.
We were also treated to a special surprise “hello” from Governor Janet Mills during lunch — a moment that brought big smiles! 😊
In the afternoon, we rolled up our sleeves for a collaborative SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) to help shape the future of PCHC’s clinical care model. One participant captured the feeling of the day perfectly: “It was wonderful. I felt like it recentered me and reminded me why we do this work.”
Grateful for the passion and dedication our providers bring to this organization — and excited for what we’ll build together. 💙
