Building Healthier Communities Across Southern Maine
Coastal Healthy Communities Coalition (CHCC) is a community-based health initiative within the 成人直播鈥檚 College of Osteopathic Medicine. The coalition works to build safe, healthy, and thriving communities across Southern Maine through collaboration, education, and local action.
CHCC currently focuses on Safe and Healthy Housing, Substance Use Prevention, and Nutrition and Wellness. The coalition convenes regular meetings with representatives from more than a dozen community sectors to share resources, coordinate initiatives, and strengthen local capacity for change.
CHCC serves the communities of Arundel, Biddeford, Buxton, Dayton, Hollis, Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, Old Orchard Beach, and Saco.
This work is supported by the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the City of Biddeford, the 成人直播, and local partners who share CHCC鈥檚 commitment to building healthier communities for all.
