Providing help and creating hope in Maine
Portland, ME – Catholic Charities Maine’s (CCM) Jessie Albert Dental and Orthodontic Center recently received a grant from the Maine Oral Health Fund of the Maine Community Foundation (MCF). This funding will be used to support Jessie Albert Dental and Orthodontic Center’s participation in the Maine Oral Health Centers Alliance and its initiative to promote strategic systemic changes focused on improved oral health care access and quality for all people in Maine.
“We are grateful to the Maine Community Foundation for their longstanding support and for this grant, which comes as inflation is making the cost of doing business significantly higher. This funding will assist in our mission to serve the underserved. The Jessie Albert Center has been one of the state’s largest providers of dental and orthodontic care to MaineCare patients since 1971. Each year we treat approximately 6,300 patients, and more than 60 percent of those patients are children,” said Julie Allaire, Chief Program Officer at CCM.
