Pen Bay Medical Center:
Pen Bay Medical Center, the largest community hospital in mid-coast Maine, was originally founded in 1901 as Knox County General Hospital. Starting with just 11 beds, the hospital expanded over the decades through renovations and additions, eventually becoming a 106-bed acute care facility in 1975. By the late 20th century, it formed the Northeast Health System, incorporating various healthcare services like home care, mental health, and speech and hearing services.
In 2005, the organization rebranded as Pen Bay Healthcare, reflecting its continuous growth to meet the needs of the community. By 2011, it became a full member of the MaineHealth system, enhancing its capacity to offer integrated healthcare services. The collaboration with Waldo County General Hospital in 2015 further expanded its reach, allowing both facilities to operate as a unified system to provide more comprehensive, high-quality care.
Today, Pen Bay Medical Center offers a broad range of medical, behavioral, and community health services, including MaineHealth Care at Home, which provides support and care for residents in their homes. This integration with MaineHealth has helped the center maintain its commitment to improving healthcare access and controlling costs for the people in the region.
