Sweetser was honored at Maine DHHS’s Delivery System Reform Annual Forum in Portland for our efforts in becoming a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic or CCBHC. Sweetser refers to the CCBHC walk-in clinics as Hope & Healing Centers.
Olivia Alford, Deputy Director of Policy & Programs at the Office of MaineCare Services, presented members of Sweetser’s leadership team with the recognition.
The Sweetser CCBHC team is led by Chief Growth Officer, Joanne Grant:
- Wendy Anders – Senior Director of Community-Based Services, oversees Sanford Hope & Healing Center
- Joey Rossingnol – Senior Director of Community-Based Services, oversees Brunswick Hope & Healing Center
- Kristen Cianelli – Director of Community-Based Services, oversees Lewiston Hope & Healing Center
Maine DHHS recognized Sweeter for the walk-in clinics’ accessibility, opening the Lewiston CCBHC after the tragic mass shooting to meet the needs of the community, and our resource room in Brunswick.
Sweetser is viewed as a leader championing this walk-in care model, which reduces barriers to accessing treatment. We are also a demonstration site, as we work with state officials to expand this service model across the state.
This award is shared with all the dedicated Sweetser team members who help serve our clients each day.
