Email: Treasurer@m-m-h-c.org

Suetta was impacted by growing up in a single-parent home, with two relatives with significant disabilities, living in an inner city. She carried these memories into community-based primary care. If patients did not feel listened to, they would not share the important, very private information that was critical to excellent holistic primary care. She trained in women’s health, addictions, mind-body medicine, geriatrics, and hospice and palliative care. Suetta has always been an active volunteer in her community, with the YWCA, scouts, and faith communities. In the 1990s, she spearheaded a faith-based group that created her town’s first middle school after-school program, then transitioned this program to the YMCA. After her children were grown, Suetta followed a lifelong dream to live in a rural area and relocated to Stockton Springs, Maine – working in geriatrics before retiring. In addition to the Midcoast Maine Homeless Coalition, she is on the board of But Still I Am One, volunteers with the Restorative Justice Project in Belfast, and is a Board Member of Penobscot Community Health Center.
