WATERVILLE — Connie Coggins, HealthReach president and CEO, has announced a new partnership between HealthReach Community Health Centers and The MaineHealth Center for Tobacco Independence. The latter administers the statewide tobacco treatment contract on behalf of the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Maine Department of Health and Human Services.
Under this partnership, the Center for Tobacco Independence supports HealthReach in expanding its tobacco treatment services by providing staff with enhanced skills and resources. The center provides staff training, technical support, and data monitoring to ensure that HealthReach staff have what they need to support patients in treatment.
This partnership is a part of HealthReach initiatives in 2024 and beyond to broaden access to substance use disorder services and education, and to decrease barriers that prevent patients from getting the help they need. By integrating evidence-based tobacco treatment into routine health care services, HealthReach improves health outcomes and reduces the burden of tobacco-related disease.
