Taking a leadership role in public policy
Operating at the intersection of healthcare, finance, government, education and non-profit spheres, the MaineHealth government affairs team collaborates across our health system and partners with diverse stakeholders to achieve MaineHealth’s vision of "working together so our communities are the healthiest in America."
Our success in shaping public policy is driven by advocacy with local, state and federal public officials and a commitment to credibility, accountability and accuracy.
Relationships built on trust and expertise
Our team works with officials at all levels of government to build relationships based on trust and expertise. We help legislators, patients and communities understand MaineHealth and how policy proposals impact our ability to meet our mission and vision.
