Maine Primary Care Association (MPCA) is a non-profit organization, strategically
located in Augusta, with 28 years of experience in representing and serving Maine’s primary care safety net. Consisting of community health centers and tribal health centers across the state, the Maine Migrant Health Program, and Portland Public Health Division’s Healthcare for the Homeless Program, Maine’s primary care safety net exists to ensure affordable quality health care is available to all.   

In essence, community health centers exist to eliminate barriers to care, whether they are travel or family budget constraints, or lack of health insurance. In doing so, they open doors to health care by offering all Maine residents the benefit of a health care home. 

In turn, MPCA exists:
  •  To ensure that the community health centers of Maine can speak with
     one collective voice in the best interest of their patients;
  •  To bridge medical practices and the public health sector; and,
  •  To offer programs, services and technical assistance that strengthens
     Maine’s primary care safety net.

  •  Advocacy Efforts
