The Partnership Launches Its Second Report
Authored by the Maine Center for Economic Policy, the report, titled, Closing the Gap: Maine’s Direct Care Shortage and Solutions to Fix It, builds on MECEP’s previous work to support efforts by academics, advocates, consumers, state health officials, policymakers, and providers to address issues that impact our direct care system. By quantifying the current care gap, what it will take to address it, and the costs of inaction, we hope to bring these issues into greater focus and identify solutions.
