Healthy Communities of the Capital Area (HCCA) is a small non-profit organization based in Gardiner, Maine, focused on primary prevention of chronic disease through community-based initiatives. The group works behind the scenes with local businesses, organizations, coalitions, and school networks to reduce risky behaviors such as tobacco use and substance abuse, while connecting local food systems with schools and institutions. In addition to policy and coalition work, HCCA offers educational programs on healthy eating, physical activity, and the risks associated with vaping, marijuana, and other substances, and it engages youth at middle and high school levels to identify systemic problems and advocate for change.

As part of the wellness and fitness services landscape, HCCA positions itself as a community-oriented catalyst that links farms, fisheries, and schools with broader public health goals. The organization operates in the Capital Area of Maine and serves diverse community stakeholders by promoting tobacco-free environments, youth prevention efforts, and collaborations across local networks. Recent efforts include a StoryWalk collaboration and partnerships with public agencies and LGBTQ+ advocacy groups to broaden prevention initiatives in the region.
