On Saturday, we had the honor of attending the Governor’s Awards for Service and Volunteerism in Augusta—where individuals from our Bangor, Dover-Foxcroft, and Millinocket teams were recognized for an incredible 1,400+ combined volunteer hours supporting the Eastern Area Agency on Aging (EAAA)🙌

Our teams help deliver Meals on Wheels, serve warm meals at the Community Café in Brewer, and assemble monthly pet food kits for the Furry Friends Food Bank—all vital services that EAAA provides to seniors across Penobscot and Piscataquis Counties.

For more than a decade, these dedicated volunteers have worked side by side with community members—consistently showing up with kindness, compassion, and dedication!

Their service is a powerful reminder of what community integration, and the spirit of inclusion looks like.

Thank you EAAA for nominating us for this award and for the years of partnership!

We are so proud of every single team member whose hard work and heart have made a difference. Here's to over 10 years of making an impact—and to many more to come!

"Your team’s long-standing partnership with the Eastern Area Agency on Aging—delivering meals, supporting the Community Café, and preparing pet food kits for the Furry Friends Food Bank—demonstrates how inclusive volunteerism strengthens entire communities. The 1,400+ hours your team contributed in 2024 alone speaks volumes, and the kindness your volunteers bring to each task is truly irreplaceable."

Every day, Mosaic employees witness the life-enhancing care that people with intellectual and developmental disabilities receive because of Medicaid funding. It’s why Health Services Manager Jolene is passionate about advocacy.

She writes, “Medicaid helps the people I support meet their basic human needs. It is certainly not extravagant by any means, but it allows them to pay for their basic living expenses, doctor’s visits, and necessary medications. Without Medicaid funding, thousands of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities would have nothing—no home, no access to healthcare, no medication. These are human beings with families, friends—with so much love to give.”

It was a fun and educational day, and a wonderful opportunity to connect with and show appreciation for the first responders who help keep our communities safe. Thank you, Pittsfield PD 💙

Mosaic supports 5,000 people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and 4,500 of them receive home- and community-based services (HCBS), which allow them to receive the support they need to live and contribute to their communities, at home.

States are required to offer nine benefits through Medicaid and can elect to offer 21 optional services, including HCBS. Because Medicaid operates as a state-federal partnership, if the federal government reduces Medicaid funding, states may be forced with the difficult decision to cut back services like HCBS.

Did you know that Medicare and private health insurance plans typically only cover acute care? Medicaid, however, covers both acute and long-term care. Nearly all of the more than 5,000 people supported by the Living Innovations require lifelong care, with Medicaid being the primary source of funding. Many will increasingly depend on Medicaid funding for support as their parents age or are unable to provide them with the level of care they need, highlighting the urgent need to advocate for Medicaid funding.
