The leaves are turning; school is in full swing, spooky season is upon us and we have a lot going on! Take a look at what’s happening at Greater Portland Health this month.
Celebrating the 4th Anniversary of RCP
Last week marked the four-year anniversary of our Recuperative Care Program! Based at 934 Congress Street, this program provides a safe place for individuals experiencing homelessness or unstable housing to recover after surgery or illness. We are so grateful for our partners at Preble Street and Maine Medical Center, who help make this program possible. Please enjoy a photo of the flourishing garden our patients created!
October Partnership with the Portland Food Co-op
The Portland Food Co-op brings local producers and consumers to one marketplace to grow a healthier community and more sustainable food system. GPH is excited to have been chosen as their Register RoundUp partner this month. Each shopper has the opportunity to “Round Up” to the nearest dollar and support our Community Health Programs. Community members raised over $6,000 for GPH, funds that will go directly to improve community access to high-quality, comprehensive healthcare services.
