Our candidate series continues with Former House Speaker and gubernatorial candidate Hannah Pingree for Governor.

Hannah recently stopped by our Brunswick Hope & Healing Center to learn about our walk-in care access and the full range of mental health and recovery services available to people in the region. She also met some of our wonderful peers working at Sweetser's Support ME Peer Center and our partners with our full-service pharmacy. We appreciate Hannah’s interest in and support for ways to bolster our behavioral health system.
