Healthy Maine Partnerships (HMP)
HMP is a new initiative that was established to link aspects of four Bureau of Health programs, Partnership For A Tobacco-Free Maine (PTM), Maine Cardiovascular Health Program (MCVHP), Community Health Program (CHP), and the Bureau of Health Coordinated School Health Programs (BOH, CSHP), in collaboration with the Department of Education’s Coordinated School Health Program (DOE, CSHP). The coordination of the state and local intervention activities are funded by the tobacco settlement and assures linkages with related program activities. Each of the local Partnerships works to reduce tobacco-related chronic diseases by developing and implementing comprehensive community-level interventions that promote and support tobacco use prevention, increased physical activity and healthy eating, primarily through policy and environmental change.

Move More!
Move More is a Physical Activity and Healthy Weight Workgroup of Greater Waterville PATCH (Planned Approach to Community Health) dedicated to promoting physical activity and healthy eating habits. Move More strives to spread the message that everyone can benefit from a moderate amount of physical activity on most, if not all, days of the week. In addition to preventing chronic disease regular exercise can help us feel better, look better, sleep better, fight depression and lose weight.
