A message from Denise Needham, PharmD, President
When I look back on 2024, I see that, together, our hospitals have accomplished so much and we have so much to be proud of.
MaineHealth Pen Bay Hospital received two accolades from the Leapfrog Group this year, including a Top Rural Hospital designation for 2024 and an “A” grade in the most recent Hospital Safety Grade cycle. We finished the final phase of the MaineHealth Pen Bay Hospital emergency department expansion project and opened the MaineHealth Rockland Health Center with more centralized access to care for our community.
At MaineHealth Waldo Hospital, we launched a distance learning program in partnership with Eastern Maine Community College, designed to prepare students for careers as registered nurses, and expanded our interventional pain program. The hospital also received a five-star rating for cleanliness from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and in December we announced a partnership with Midcoast Maine Community Action to open a Belfast WIC clinic on the MaineHealth Waldo Campus.
