Agenda

We are excited to invite you to join us at MPCA’s 2026 Annual Conference – Maine’s CHCs: Rooted in Community, Growing Stronger Together, at the Samoset Resort in Rockport, Maine, October 14-15.

Over two days, health center leaders, clinicians, board members, staff, and partners will explore the opportunities and challenges facing Maine’s Community Health Centers (CHCs). Through keynote presentations, expert-led sessions, panel discussions, and peer learning, attendees will gain practical strategies, share innovative ideas, and strengthen relationships across Maine’s primary care network.

Maine’s CHCs make up the largest independent primary care network in the state, providing high quality and accessible primary and preventive medical, behavioral, and dental health services for over 200,000+ Maine people. Our Annual Conference celebrates the immense impact that this network has on healthcare across our state and the work that CHC staff do every day to provide compassionate care to everyone who walks through their door.

Whether you’re a longtime health center leader or newer to the CHC community, you’ll leave with new connections, fresh ideas, and practical tools to support your work.

These hotels are not affiliated with the conference and do not offer an MPCA discounted conference rate, but they are available as alternative options for attendees to explore as needed.
