MaineHealth Brand
Our Brand Story
MaineHealth is northern New England’s most trusted care provider — and not because of excellent patient experiences and clinical outcomes alone. For over 150 years, we have elevated health and care for our communities — their well-being is our top priority.
At our core, MaineHealth comprises providers, specialists, hospitals and offices all unified by a shared mission: to deliver the best care possible to everyone we serve. Our brand reflects the quality and consistency in what we do and how we go about doing it. It supports an understanding of and confidence in who we are.
MaineHealth’s brand is built on qualities that make us unique. We are compassionate, trustworthy, reliable and committed in delivering exceptional services and resources. We are always evolving to meet the needs of the people in the communities we care for, support and employ.
Staying true to our brand and unifying how we present ourselves are powerful ways for establishing, nurturing and continuing to further our valuable connections. These are meaningful and effective tools for bringing MaineHealth’s vision to life: Working together so our communities are the healthiest in America.
