Get Involved with the Downeast Public Health Council

The Downeast Public Health Council is one of nine (eight geographic and one Tribal) District Coordinating Councils for Public Health in Maine. The Council's responsibilities include:

• Identifying district public health issues and priorities using an assessment process;
• Coordinating and assuring public health services in our communities;
• Addressing health disparities in our district;
• Convening non-traditional public health partners;
• Advising on public health policy and allocation of funding;
• Preparing and maintaining the public health system for public health accreditation.

The Council is composed of member organizations representing public health "sectors" that are described in the Council's bylaws and interested persons within the District.

Please join us for one of our Council meetings to learn more about the work we do.
