MaineHealth, the state's largest health care system, has appointed Britt Crewse as its next regional president, overseeing operations at Maine Medical Center in Portland and Southern Maine Health Care in Biddeford and Sanford.

As regional president, Crewse will oversee all clinical care and operations for the two regional health care providers. He will begin work in January.
“We are very pleased to have identified and attracted a candidate of Britt’s caliber and commitment to providing high-quality health care,” said MaineHealth CEO Dr. Andrew Mueller, in a news release.

In getting to know Britt, it became clear to us that he shares MaineHealth’s passion for our vision of working together so our communities are the healthiest in America and I believe he will make excellent contributions to our care team.”
Crewse began his career at Memorial Medical Center in Savannah, Ga., serving in multiple roles. He was a senior manager with Ernst & Young LLP in Greenville, S.C. Then, he moved to Duke University Health System in Durham, N.C., working in various leadership roles in both compliance and operations.
Most recently, since 2020, he has served as CEO of the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, Miss. He oversaw the University Hospital, Wallace Conerly Critical Care Hospital and Wiser Hospital, all on the medical center's campus. He helped lead measurable improvements in quality, safety and patient experience, the release said.
Crewse has a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Ohio State University and a master’s in health science and business administration from the University of Florida.
“MaineHealth’s care team has an incredible reputation for providing patient-centered care, educating caregivers and researching better ways to provide care,” said Crewse. "It’s that mission, the dedicated professionals behind it and the positive impact they have together on the communities they serve that drew me to Maine Medical Center and Southern Maine Health Care.”
