A Promise to Our Communities

Northern Light Maine Coast Hospital has been Hancock and Western Washington Counties’ trusted community hospital for 65 years. We provide quality care with personal touch and convenience—that has been our promise to our communities for generations, and it will continue to guide us for decades to come.

We have reached a critical moment in our history—our Birthing Center and Medical/Surgical Unit, built in the 1960s, were not designed for the care we provide today. Technology has improved, and patient and family expectations for privacy and comfort have changed.

The Building on a Promise campaign will support the development of a new Birthing Center and critically needed upgrades to the Medical/Surgical Unit. With your support, we can upgrade our patient care areas to meet the latest standards of care and provide the experience that patients and families deserve.

A New Promise for Patients and Families

A spacious, family-focused Birthing Center will provide parents with the best possible environment for welcoming a newborn. The new Birthing Center will include new spacious, comfortable combined labor, deliver, and recovery suites with plenty of space for a support person to stay overnight.

Renovated and refreshed adult patient rooms will offer a quiet space for patients to rest and heal, a modern, soothing care setting created with patient and family comfort in mind, and the highest level of patient privacy, confidentiality, and infection prevention.

The Building on a Promise Campaign
