Tell us your health care story

The Maine Monitor needs your help to report on the health care in the state, especially delays and long waiting times for appointments.

We’ve heard from many of our readers about delays in obtaining health care, long waits for appointments, and long drives to get care.

We’ve also heard about the continued over-prescription of opioid painkillers by providers, despite increased awareness of the risk of addiction and the ongoing overdose epidemic.

We’d like to hear your stories about those subjects. We appreciate you sharing your story and we take your privacy seriously.

We are gathering these stories for the purposes of our reporting, and will contact you if we wish to publish any part of your story.

We may not be able to respond to everyone, but we read each submission, and they all help inform our work.

Please fill out the form below, or allow the form to open in a new tab.
