Welcome to the Healthy Island Project Website!
Healthy Island Project works independently or in partnership with local organizations and individuals to develop and launch community projects to improve the broad health of the community.
Healthy Island Project is a non-profit organization that was established in 1991 by the Island Medical Center. HIP was incorporated as an Independent Non-Profit Organization in 2003. HIP is a community-based organization that provides information, makes connections between people and organizations, and coordinates selected projects that promote healthy living. HIP brings together a cross section of Islanders working together to address the broad health of the community.
Located in Deer Isle, Maine, HIP serves Deer Isle, Stonington, and surrounding communities. HIP provides programs such as WinterFest, Widow/Widowers, Support Groups for Cancer Patients and Caregivers, Queen's Closet, and more. Click on Programs to see a detailed description of all HIP's programs.
