Healthy Oxford Hills

Healthy Oxford Hills is a Healthy Maine Partnership (HMP). We are funded through the Fund for a Healthy Maine established in 1999, from the proceeds of the master tobacco settlement agreement. There are 27 Healthy Maine Partnerships across the state working to make Maine a healthier place. We serve the communities of Brownfield, Buckfield, Denmark, Hebron, Hiram, Norway, Otisfield, Oxford, Paris, Porter, Sumner, Waterford and West Paris.

The Fund for a Healthy Maine (FHM) was created by the Maine Legislature in 1999 to receive and disburse Maine’s annual tobacco settlement purpose — to prevent disease and promote good health among Maine children and adults. The Maine Legislature decides how FHM dollars are allocated to support programs in eight areas: tobacco prevention and cessation, prenatal and young children’s care, child care including after-school programs, access to healthcare for children and infants, prescription drugs for elderly and disabled adults, dental and oral health, substance abuse prevention and treatment.
