Health Equity Alliance will be opening our ARPA-funded HEART Center on April 1, 2024 to provide open, drop-in day services from 8:30 - 5:00, 7 days a week, to individuals in Bangor who are struggling with houselessness and active substance use. As HEART implementation begins and unfolds, HEAL would like to have transparent lines of communication with individuals and organizations in the community interested in the execution of our primary services.  

What is the HEART Center Steering Committee and what should I expect? 
This Committee will include local stakeholders interested in providing input, guidance, and assistance for the HEART Center opening in Bangor. Steering Committee meetings will be at maximum, monthly or at minimum, quarterly; the first meeting will be February 19, 2024. As the process continues, HEAL will also be implementing a Quality Improvement Board in May prioritizing individuals with lived experience and those who are utilizing our services.
