Last week, we celebrated Arts in Healthcare with patients, local organizations, and community members. Singing, storytelling, dancing, poetry, and a raffle for visual art created by staff and patients highlighted the power of creativity in healing and bringing people together.

Happy Physician Associates week! We’re proud to celebrate our incredible PAs who bring compassion, expertise, and dedication to every patient they serve. Thank you for being such an essential part of the Greater Portland Health team! #PAWeek

It’s Population Health Day! We believe in health care access for all, including those without insurance. For every insured patient we serve, we’re able to care for two uninsured patients—because our commitment to caring for the whole community means no one gets left behind.

Today’s NHCW theme is Health Conditions Focus Day!

We were honored to receive 64 blood pressure cuffs donated by the American Heart Association and @NorthernLightH. These self-measure cuffs will aid hypertension diagnosis and treatment while empowering patients!

Today's NHCW theme is Patient Appreciation Day, when we recognize the role patients play in shaping our health centers. Our patients and their voices are reflected in everything we do. Thank you to the over 16,000 patients who call GPH their medical home!

On this National Health Center Week Staff Appreciation Day, we extend our deepest gratitude to every member of our team. Your compassion, dedication, and care change patients’ lives every single day.

Slashing Medicaid puts vital health services at risk, especially for those served by Community Health Centers.

Call or email your Maine senators and representatives and urge them to protect MaineCare, the state's Medicaid program, and support Community Health Centers.

[Greater Portland Health @GPortlandHealth]

Medicaid supports care for families, veterans, children, seniors, and farmers. MaineCare, the state's Medicaid program, protects our community's health.

Call or email your Maine senators and representatives and urge them to protect MaineCare and support Community Health Centers.

1 in 2 of our patients are covered by MaineCare, the state's Medicaid program.

Call or email your Maine senators and representatives and urge them to protect MaineCare and support Community Health Centers.

Who benefits from Medicaid?
✅ Working adults
✅ People with disabilities
✅ Parents and caregivers

Medicaid is a lifeline. Cuts hurt real people. Urge @SenAngusKing @SenatorCollins @chelliepingree @RepGolden to protect Medicaid by stopping the Budget Reconciliation bill.

We are excited to partner with @RouxInstitute again this year for their post-baccalaureate, pre-clinical healthcare gap year program. Please join us in welcoming this year's cohort!

Our Maternal Health team recently partnered with @BirthRoots to host two childbirth education sessions facilitated by Community Doulas. This allowed pregnant patients to connect with each other, ask questions, and learn about pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period.

We are honored to receive funding from the Maine Lions Sight & Hearing Foundation to support vision care for our patients. Foundation leaders toured our optometry suite and presented a check to GPH this week. We are grateful for their support of our patients and community!
