Mission & Focus Areas
MaineHealth’s vision is “Working together so our communities are the healthiest in America.” Its stated mission is to improve the health of patients and communities by providing high-quality affordable care, educating tomorrow’s caregivers, and researching better ways to provide care.
Its 2025 grants included research awards and support for tobacco and substance-use prevention services. Grantees represent several kinds of organizations. For example, the University of New England says it prepares students to improve the health of people, communities, and the planet; Penobscot Bay YMCA describes its work as promoting youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility; and Central Maine Community Health says its mission is to improve public health in the communities it serves. These are the grantees’ stated missions, not MaineHealth’s.
The MaineHealth Innovation Funding Program supports new care-team models, processes, services, or products that address unmet care needs within MaineHealth. It offers Ignite funding of up to $20,000 and Bonfire funding of up to $100,000. The program is intended for MaineHealth colleagues.
