Your Local Community Coalition

Choose To Be Healthy is a community health coalition serving southern York County, Maine and based at York Hospital. Coalition members and partners work to create a culture of healthy living by supporting policies and community changes that promote alcohol and drug free living for our youth. Funding comes through grants from the Maine CDC and the federal Drug Free Communities Program of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy.

CTBH staff, members and partners live and work in the towns of Berwick, Eliot, Kittery, Lebanon, North Berwick, Ogunquit, South Berwick, Wells, and York.
