The legislature is taking a break from voting on bills until the start of next year. Now is an excellent time to invite your state senator and representative to visit your facility, learn about long term care, and discuss how they can help support this key part of the health care continuum. Meeting legislators and building these relationships is crucial to ensuring our elected officials best understand the importance of Maine's nursing, residential care, and assisted living facilities. 

You can find your state representative at https://legislature.maine.gov/house/house/MemberProfiles/ListAlphaTown and your state senator at https://legislature.maine.gov/senate-home-page/find-your-state-senator. 

MHCA is available to help! Our advocacy resources page has guides on grassroots efforts, including how to host a facility tour. We can also help with anything from drafting an invitation, coordinating the day-of tour, or with follow-up documents. Give us a call or email us if you have any questions.
