It's the little moments that make the biggest difference.

The difference between good care and great care lies in the moments in-between. From diagnosis to discharge, the MaineHealth Cancer Care Network surrounds you with specialists dedicated to your personal fight. Our providers care about you as much as they care about fighting cancer—always taking the time to brighten your day with simple acts of kindness and support. It's why we are different, and why we’ve treated more cancer patients in Maine and New Hampshire than any other health care system.
