About the MaineHealth Annual Report 

MaineHealth’s longstanding commitment to improving the health and well-being of our communities entered a new era on January 1, 2019, when our Maine-based hospitals unified under a single organizational structure. It has indeed been a remarkable year.

We have leveraged the advantages of our unified health system to make significant investments in our people, programs and infrastructure. Inside this Annual Report, you’ll learn how MaineHealth is evolving our models of care to enhance clinical excellence; collaborating with our communities to strengthen local health services; cultivating a skilled and engaged workforce; and building new partnerships to improve access and reduce cost.

Our Board and senior leaders devoted many hours developing the MaineHealth 2020-2022 Strategic Plan, which charts our health system’s course over the next three years. Our four core strategic goals – namely, enhancing patient experience, improving care team well-being, improving population health, and making care more affordable – are driven by our shared mission, vision and values. This strategic plan provides a framework for the actions we will take to navigate the opportunities and challenges presented by the rapidly changing health care landscape.

In the year ahead MaineHealth will maintain our focus on patient care quality, value and experience. We will address the public health challenges of our time, such as opioid use disorder, diabetes, and food insecurity in our communities. We will continue to innovate our clinical models and to build out our technology infrastructure to transform the way we provide care. And we will continue to forge partnerships that support outstanding and accessible health care for our patients, families and communities.

We are one health system, working together so our communities are the healthiest in America.
