OUR HISTORY

Responding to community needs since 1985

Through our name and our work, we are proud to honor the memory and celebrate the legacy of Frances W. Peabody (1903-2001), whose great energy and vision continue to be instrumental in providing HIV/AIDS services and programs in Maine.

Advocating for life-saving programs

Frannie Peabody Center educates the community, partner and leaders on the policies and issues that impact on our clients and the community we serve. 

Agency staff also serve on advisory boards and working groups that contribute to the advancement of healthcare policy that improves access to care.

“Frannie took the nearly invisible movement of AIDS activism in Maine and made it instantly respectable… We were out to stop the disease, nothing less, and Frannie was going to be our Joan of Arc.”

— John Preston
