What is the Maine DPCP

The Maine Diabetes Prevention and Control Program (DPCP) is a program of the Maine Department of Health and Human Services- Center for Disease Control and Prevention- Division of Population Health. The DPCP is a public health program funded in Maine since 1977, which is supported through a cooperative agreement with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and by the State of Maine .

Vision:

  • A healthy population and quality of life in Maine

Purpose:

  • We exist to coordinate resources and expertise Statewide to prevent and reduce the burden of chronic diseases

Program Goal:

  • Prevent diabetes and related complications, disabilities and burden

Program Priorities:

  • Promote excellence in diabetes care and increase access to care
  • Promote and support diabetes self-management training

The DPCP works with partners to reduce death, disability and healthcare costs due to diabetes in Maine. Key functions of the DPCP include: planning and evaluation, training and technical assistance, coordinating resources, and monitoring trends

The DPCP and the Maine DHHS-CDC, Cardiovascular Health Program, along with many of their partners developed a 10-year, statewide cardiovascular health and diabetes strategic plan (2011-2020). This plan was released in August 2011, and is intended to serve as a guiding document for public health leaders, healthcare providers, educators and policy makers to prevent and control cardiovascular disease and diabetes in Maine.
