Community Health Connects Us All

Healthy Acadia is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing community health in Maine’s Hancock and Washington counties. Our mission is to empower people and organizations as we build healthy communities together.

Since 2001, we have aimed to identify important health needs in our communities and find ways to address their root causes. We collaborate with community partners and leaders from various sectors to develop plans, take action, and enhance overall health and well-being. Through teamwork and shared leadership, we address ongoing issues and quickly respond to urgent health concerns in our area.

Thank you so very much to all of you - our community partners, friends, and supporters who help us continue to build healthier and more vibrant communities.

Together, We Make Health Happen
