Welcome to Healthy Acadia

Healthy Acadia, a 501(c) 3 non-profit with more than 100 partners, is dedicated to empowering people & organizations to build healthy communities. We work to make lasting improvements to the health of our communities through building partnerships; improving policies & environments; and coordinating education & prevention services throughout Hancock and Washington Counties.

At Healthy Acadia we recognize that it takes more than healthy lifestyle choices to foster true community health. We work in partnership with individuals and groups across the region to make lasting changes – changes in policies, practices, and places– that set the stage for healthier living.

Local citizens, governments, organizations, schools, and businesses all play critical roles in this effort. Many of these strategies are set forth in the Good Health Starts Here report, Healthy Acadia’s Action Plan for Community Health.

We hope you will use this website to learn more about us, the health of our communities, our community and school partners, and local efforts to make our region healthier. Please contact us for more information.

Healthy Acadia is one of 26 Healthy Maine Partnerships funded by the Fund for a Healthy Maine through Maine’s Bureau of Health, Department of Human Services. We also receive funding and support from the Maine Office of Substance Abuse and the Maine Communities for Children + Youth Initiative.
