TOPSHAM — The Maine Health Management Coalition (MHMC), a nonprofit organization working to reduce health care costs and improve the quality of clinical services, recently announced the addition of its two new members, Maine Nephrology Associates and the American Cancer Society.

Maine Nephrology Associates is an independent specialty practice dedicated to excellence in patient care, comprehensive education and innovative research. Their 11 physicians are committed to providing not only the highest quality of care to those with renal disease and hypertension, but to collaborate with the health care community in which they serve.

The ACS is a renowned community-based voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem. For more than 100 years, the ACS has worked relentlessly to help people stay and get well, find cures, and fight back against cancer. Headquartered in Atlanta, Ga., ACS has regional and local offices throughout the country, including one located near the MHMC offices in the Bowdoin Mill Island complex in Topsham.

As membership grows, the MHMC is able to achieve change faster to support the state’s citizens with a continually improving health care system.

“Our rapid member growth is vitally important for achieving improvements in our state’s health care. Improving health care is a hot topic and we invite those not satisfied with the status quo to join us in fostering change so everyone can benefit from reduced costs and higher quality as quickly as possible. We provide solutions for those unhappy with health care cost and quality, and can best do so with members committed to this cause,” said Marie Stuckey, MHMC’s member relations specialist.

MHMC currently supports more than 75 members representing thousands of Maine health care beneficiaries. For additional information on MHMC or its membership, contact Stuckey at 207-844-8106 or through email at mstuckey@mehmc.org.
