Because of you, fiscal year 2025 was extraordinary.

Our community of donors contributed more than $1.95 million to advance technology, strengthen workforce development and promote environmental sustainability—investments that improve quality of care and enhance the experience for patients and care team members at MaineHealth Pen Bay and Waldo Hospitals.

One of the most exciting developments this year was the arrival of a modernized robotic-assisted surgical system at MaineHealth Pen Bay Hospital, making it one of six now operating across MaineHealth. This technology enables minimally invasive procedures that reduce complications and shorten recovery times. It also expands access to surgical care and opens the door to new specialties, helping us attract top surgical talent and improve outcomes for patients across the region. This milestone was made possible through philanthropy, and we are deeply grateful to the donors who helped bring this transformative technology to our hospital.

Looking ahead with optimism, fiscal year 2026 began with a meaningful bequest and we continue to see strong engagement across many types of giving. Whether through annual gifts, estate plans, donor-advised funds, gifts of stock, care team payroll deductions or donated paid time off, our donors are finding meaningful ways to support the work that matters most to them.

We’re currently raising philanthropic dollars for a women’s health initiative, among other exciting projects that will shape the future of care in our communities. We’re especially grateful for the partnership of local leadership, whose support and commitment help drive this effort forward.

Every milestone we celebrate starts with you.

The advancements made in fiscal year 2025 would not have been possible without the generous and loyal support from each and every donor in our community. From Tenants Harbor and Washington to Searsport and Brooks and everywhere in between, thank you for helping to build a healthier future for midcoast Maine.
