“DCP’s real impact is in the individual lives we touch, from the baby that arrives in the world healthier because of our nurse who worked with the mom throughout pregnancy, to the widower who can stay in his home because of the heating assistance we provide and the roof that we repaired. We value the chance make those impacts, to serve, in partnership with other agencies, as a catalyst for improving life in Down East Maine.”   – Sharon Catus, Director of Development.
