What We Do
Build Strong, Healthy Communities
Together, we can build a stronger, healthier Kennebec Valley by helping people access prevention and wellness services and engage in healthy behaviors.
What we're up against
By tracking these data points over a 10-year period and in collaboration with Impact2032, our goal is to reduce the years of potential life lost before age 75 by 5%.
How we make it better
Living a healthy life extends beyond yearly checkups. Longevity and happiness require a combination of strong mental health, ample nourishment, community connections, physical activity, healthy choices, and a sense of safety. By investing in health programs and services like meal delivery for homebound seniors, outreach initiatives for teens, access to fresh, healthy food for people of all ages, and behavioral support programs for at-risk individuals, we help our community members — children, adults, families, and neighbors — live longer, healthier, more fulfilled lives.
A combination of good health and a supportive community enhances learning opportunities, improves quality of life, and can be transformative for someone’s financial stability.
By investing in health programs in our community, we ensure all children and adults have the resources needed to achieve optimum health regardless of social and economic barriers.
