This week is hospital week! Join us in celebrating our incredible hospital and health center staff who work together to provide critical access to quality care to our communities. No matter what area they work in, everyone at MDI Hospital is a part of a team that works together. Our doctors, nurses, and clinical staff couldn't provide a high level of care without our nutrition services, security, engineering, and environmental staff. Our administrators couldn't perform their roles without input and guidance from our medical teams and frontline staff. It takes a lot of diverse people and roles to make a hospital function day in and day out, and we are appreciative for every member of our team. Happy #HospitalWeek! #healthcare #hospital #mdi #mdihospital #ruralhealthcare #barharbor #maine

We are excited to announce the MDI Hospital New Year's Baby was born on Sunday, January 14th to parents Shannon and Alan Simons of Bar Harbor. Baby Amelia measured 21in long and 7lbs 5oz. Shannon is an employee of MDI Hospital, working as a Certified Medical Assistant at Cadillac Family Practice, so this birth is particularly exciting. The Simons Family added, “We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude for the phenomenal birthing experience we had under your care. The dedication and kindness of all the staff we encountered were truly exceptional. With Shannon being an employee of the hospital, this experience holds an extra special place in our hearts, knowing now firsthand the outstanding level of care and support provided to patients. Thank you for making this journey so memorable.” For over 20 years, MDI Hospital has the beloved tradition of gifting a basket to the first baby born in the New Year filled with gifts courtesy of our friends across MDI and the Downeast region we serve.
