Civic Engagement & Health

Civic Engagement & Health Presentation

Date: Thursday, December 11th, 2 p.m.
Location: Rockland Public Library


This presentation and discussion, hosted by the Maine Public Health Association (MPHA), AARP Maine, and the Rockland Public Library, will share information about non-partisan state and federal advocacy efforts and how people can get involved in their communities to promote health.

From healthcare and education to infrastructure and the environment, decisions made in Washington, D.C. and Augusta shape the health of communities in Maine. Together, we will explore the basics of civic engagement, explain how federal and state policies affect Maine communities, and share ways you can stay informed and involved.

We also want to hear from you about your community health priorities. Whether you're new to advocacy or just want to better understand how government decisions impact our state, we hope you will join us for this discussion.
