MeHAF's Funding Priorities
In order to uphold its mission, MeHAF prioritizes three strategic program areas.
Strengthening Maine's Safety Net: Maine's safety net is comprised of health care providers, social service organizations, and advocacy groups that disproportionately serve people who are uninsured and medically underserved. By supporting these providers, systems and programs, MeHAF works to ensure access to care and improved health.
Promoting Patient and Family-Centered Care: From the patient's perspective, our current health care system lacks organization, integration and coordination. It is particularly difficult to navigate for people who are uninsured or low-income. The MeHAF approach to patient-centered care promotes integration of primary care with mental and behavioral health, dental care, specialty care, and other services. Efforts have focused on grantmaking, research and evaluation, policy and assessment and consensus-building.
Advancing Health Reform: Building a high-functioning health system in Maine requires consensus on how to address fiscal, technological, and other challenges we face in reforming current approaches. To address opportunities to reduce costs, build system efficiencies and improve equitable access to care, MeHAF provides grants and convenes thought leaders and hands-on practitioners to advance sensible reform.
