Center for Community Health Education

Health Education & Community Programs

Houlton Regional Hospital is committed to improving the health and well-being of the communities we serve through education, support, and outreach. Our Health Education programs provide patients, families, and community members with access to information and resources that encourage healthy lifestyles, disease prevention, and effective management of chronic conditions.

Many of these programs are offered through the hospital’s Center for Community Health Education (CCHE)—a dedicated facility designed to support learning, collaboration, and community engagement.
