“Chronic disease; Maine has a large elderly population. Cary Medical Center’s county is tucked away in northern Maine. Chronic disease management, and the accompanying need for medication, can be difficult to address.
We have a unique relationship with the local federally qualified health center. We work with the FQHC on the Safe Home Meds program, which was first funded by a Cardinal Health grant. Inpatient and outpatient case managers lead the program and work with patients postdischarge to ensure medication compliance. We are also working on a new specialty care program with the FQHC. Maine did not participate in Medicaid expansion; we have many low-income patients who are underinsured or uninsured. This program aims to qualify these patients for free care or financial assistance.”
