about MICN
Our Mission
To reduce the impact of cancer on individuals and communities in Maine through collaboration and systems improvement.
History
In 2015, Maine Cancer Foundation (MCF) began exploring how to reduce the impact of cancer in Maine through statewide collaboration. The Foundation recognized that sustained, effective change would require active collaboration between individuals and organizations throughout Maine. In 2016, Maine’s Impact Cancer Network (MICN) launched.
Since its inception, MICN has become a 500+ member strong coalition. MICN achieves its goals with funding from MCF and in kind support from its diverse membership.
About Us
MICN uses the Collective Impact Model as its foundation and actively engages four key sectors: Lived Experience, Non-Profit, Government, and the Business community.
A strong backbone organization serves as the central coordinating entity, of collective impact effort. It brings together diverse stakeholders, facilitates communication and collaboration, and ensures that collective efforts stay on track. Maine Cancer Foundation provides funding support and is the backbone organization for MICN.
