Ten Maine nonprofit organizations received a total of $50,000 in funding through Community Health Options’ 2024 Wellness Grants to support programs that promote physical and emotional well-being in communities across the state.
“Each year, we’re inspired by the impact small organizations have across Maine and privileged to play a small part in supporting these projects,” said Kevin Lewis, president and CEO of Community Health Options. “We continue to be amazed by the creativity of these initiatives, whether helping girls to build self-confidence, supporting substance use disorder recovery, or lending out gear so more people can enjoy the beauty of our state.”

If it’s been a while since you’ve had a wellness visit, here’s some good news. Preventive care isn’t just about avoiding illness—it can help you stay healthy and maintain your overall well-being. And the best part? When you visit an in-network provider, your health plan covers services including screenings, checkups and healthcare counseling, many at no cost to you.
