Health Behavior and Lifestyle Treatment

MaineHealth Food is Medicine Health Behavior & Lifestyle Treatment (HBLT) programs are self-management programs that help patients set and meet their health goals. These programs offer support, education and hands-on skill-building on a variety of topics, including:

  • Healthy cooking & eating
  • Increasing access to healthy food
  • Providing ongoing group support

The goal is to help patients self-manage their chronic conditions through healthy lifestyle changes. We aim to improve food security, in addition to helping people feel better and have the energy to live a healthy lifestyle.
