Community Immunity: A Collaborative Effort to Raise HPV Vaccinations Rates in Androscoggin County

About This Grant:

With the support of this grant, Healthy Androscoggin aims to reduce cancer rates and increase HPV vaccinations by training healthcare providers on evidence-based interventions and educating target populations about cancer prevention. This will be achieved through a partnership with four healthcare practices under the Central Maine Healthcare umbrella, alongside guidance from Maine Community Integration, a trusted community-based organization with strong connections to immigrant populations. Healthy Androscoggin will raise awareness of HPV-related cancers and the benefits of vaccination in culturally competent ways that reflect best practices.
