“Mmhp has a conflict of interest policy that applies to personnel. Mmhp's by-laws include a conflict of interest section for board and advisory board members which call for annual disclosure of potential conflicts. A conflict of interest disclosure form is required to be completed by all board members on an annual basis.”

“Mmhp's board of directors determines all compensation, including salary adjustments and one-time cost of living adjustments, for the executive director. Information is generally provided to board members for comparable organizations of similar size and operations for comparison and discussion purposes. All issues are discussed at the board table in the absence of any staff members and voted on for documentation in the board minutes. All other staff compensation remains the purview of the executive director as it falls within the parameters of the agency's annual budget, which is also subject to approval by the board.”

“To improve the health status of seasonal workers and their families by providing culturally appropriate care and services since 1991, the maine mobile health program (mmhp) has championed the health care needs of migrant and seasonal farmworkers (msfws) and their families. The organization, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, provides quality primary, preventive, and specialty health services to farmworkers across the state of maine. Farmworkers are one of the nation's most vulnerable and invisible populations, and they are the engine of maine's agricultural industry. The harvests in maine employing migrant workers include broccoli, potatoes, apples, vegetables, christmas trees/wreaths, and blueberries. As a voucher program, mmhp is dedicated to maximizing access to health care for maine's seasonal workers by providing mobile medical care, and by referral arrangements (i.e. Vouchers) with a broad network of medical, dental, vision and behavioral health providers. Mmhp maintains continuity of care for established patients, reaches out to those without access, identifies emerging needs, and assists community providers in responding to the cultural and linguistic needs of this diverse workforce.”

“Community service - the maine mobile health program is a federally qualified health center-a 330g migrant voucher referral program. Mmhp's unique combination of direct clinical services, voucher referral, and continuous support from community health workers (chw) reduces the barriers related to social determinants of health faced by these workers. Worker health status is compromised by poverty, living and working conditions, social isolation, care disruptions, and lack of transportation and culturally linguistically appropriate health services. Mmhp services are integral to facilitating access to care and chws provide case management, health education, transportation, and medical interpretation. This combined approach ensures access to appropriate, timely, and cost-effective care. The program is responsive to worker needs, nimble, and highly flexible. Mmhp maintains continuity of care for established patients, reaches out to those without access, identifies emerging needs, and assists community providers in responding to the cultural and linguistic needs of this diverse workforce.”

“As discussed, the organization provides quality primary, preventive, and specialty health services to migrant and seasonal farmworkers across the state of maine.”
