Maine Coast Healthcare Foundation’s Board of Trustees has approved a grant to Maine Coast Memorial Hospital (MCMH) totaling $100,000 in support of the F. Eugene Dixon, Jr. Emergency Center Capital Campaign.  The Campaign began in the summer of 2008 and has received exceptional support from the community - both individuals and businesses. The Foundation’s grant to benefit the Campaign was made on June 30 to coincide with the end of the organization’s 2010 fiscal year.

We are pleased to announce the reopening of our new remodeled lobby with private registration rooms and a comfortable waiting area. We thank you for your patience as we implemented these improvements.
