Celebrating integrated health care

BRIDGTON — Three years ago Tri-County Mental Health Services (TCMHS) and its partners at Central Maine Healthcare’s Bridgton Hospital launched a project aimed at changing healthcare for people in the region.

The innovative project was funded by the Maine Health Access Foundation (MeHAF), and brought behavioral health providers into the doctor’s offices at Naples Family Practice, North Bridgton Family Practice, Fryeburg Family Medicine, Bridgton Pediatrics and Bridgton Internal Medicine.

Since then, hundreds of people have experienced the benefits of more holistic and integrated treatment.

Community engagement and education were part of the project, with free monthly dinners focusing on different topics related to well-being. Everyone is invited to the final gathering on Tuesday, January 22, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Bridgton Hospital.

The event will review the successes of the project and look to the future as Primary Care Integration will continue in the region.
