Ellsworth hospital to join EMHS
Maine Coast Memorial Hospital in Ellsworth is expected to join as a member of Eastern Maine Healthcare System after the two parties recently reached an agreement.
The Bangor Daily News reported that the agreement between the 64-bed hospital and the Brewer-based system requires approval by state and federal regulators before it’s official.
Charlie Therrien, Maine Coast’s CEO, was quoted by the newspaper as saying “while we will see a lot of exciting changes, many areas will stay the same.”
“For example, our local board will continue to govern the hospital, and donations intended for Maine Coast will stay with Maine Coast,” he continued in his statement “… An affiliation with EMHS will provide support and additional services that we need in order to grow and navigate the rapidly changing health care environment.”
