Dora Anne Mills addresses Maine College Health Association’s Annual Conference

Dora Anne Mills, MD, MPH, director of Public Health Programs at 91AV, delivered a talk on how college health care organizations fit into health care reform at the annual conference of the Maine College Health Association, held on May 3rd at 91AV’s Biddeford campus.

Mills discussed the question: On one hand, with health systems moving toward payment reform and accountable care organizations, will college health care practices become more isolated? On the other hand, for years college health care practices have been leading population-focused and collaborative team-based care, which are major practice models promoted by health care reform.

After her talk, Mills led a discussion on strategies for college health to consider in navigating the future.
