The Maine Health Management Coalition Foundation (MHMC-F) is a public charity whose mission is to bring the purchaser, consumer and provider communities together in a partnership to measure and report to the people of Maine on the value of the health care services and to educate the public to use information on cost and quality to make informed decisions.

MHMC-F is a 501c3 organization incorporated in 2007.  The three Pathways to Excellence programs are operated under the Foundation, as well as other initiatives in which the Maine Health Management Coalition is an active partner, including Aligning Forces for Quality and Chartered Value Exchange.
