"This epidemic...probably wouldn't
be half as bad if everybody had
access to help when they wanted it.
I wanted help long before I got it."

In 2018, Maine saw a 10% decrease in opioid deaths, the first statistical
decrease in nine years.
42 lives were saved through changing systems and culture.
The Maine Health Access Foundation has contributed $2.2 million in grants to
begin to
open up avenues for treatment and identify best practices to assure that
the loss of lives continues to be a downward trend.
We all have a role to play. Step up and join with us.
The Maine Health Access Foundation's mission is to promote access to
quality health care, especially for those who are uninsured and
underserved, and improve the health of everyone in Maine.
