🏛️ SWEETSER ON CAPITOL HILL
Sweetser's President & CEO Jayne Van Bramer and Chief Communications Officer Justin Chenette recently traveled to Washington, D.C., for Hill Day with the @nationalcouncil. As the only Maine provider, they met directly with @anguskingmaine, …@sensusancollins, and the Chief of Staff for @chelliepingree to champion critical behavioral health priorities.
Behavioral health is—and must continue to be—a bipartisan area of focus. Ensuring our communities have access to life-saving treatment is a shared responsibility that transcends politics.
Our Key Advocacy Priorities:
🧠 Expanding Access: Advancing the Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) model.
💼 Bolstering the Workforce: Supporting the professionals on the frontlines of care.
✍️ Securing Funding: Pushing for robust, level funding in federal appropriations.
🛡️ Protecting Medicaid: Safeguarding essential coverage for the vulnerable populations we serve.
Thank you to our congressional delegation and their staff for their continued dialogue and commitment to strengthening the #mentalhealth safety net in Maine and across the country! 💚
