Maine’s Next Giant Leap Toward Health Coverage for All
Project Director: Mia Poliquin Pross
Maine’s Next Giant Leap Toward Health Coverage for All is the statewide Consumer Voices for Coverage project seeking to achieve quality affordable health care for all through shared responsibility with broad and sustainable financing, by building and strengthening the consumer advocacy network actively engaged in health reform efforts, strengthening its communications capacity, and leveraging opportunities to partner with non-traditional allies. Its specific aims include developing and implementing a media/communications plan, developing and implementing a coordinated grassroots outreach plan and improving stakeholder relations.
