About the MaineHealth Herbert and Roberta Watson Health Center
The MaineHealth Herbert and Roberta Watson Health Center is named in honor of longtime MaineHealth Lincoln Hospital volunteers, Herbert and Roberta Watson.
Completed in 2018, the MaineHealth Herbert and Roberta Watson Health Center features abundant natural light and functional design. The $13.7 million construction project began in 2010 and was supported by the generosity of local donors as well as funds set aside by MaineHealth Lincoln Hospital.
More than $4.8 million was raised through the public Cornerstone Campaign, co-chaired by MaineHealth Lincoln Hospital board member Marva Nesbit and former MaineHealth Lincoln Hospital Chief Medical Officer Russell Mack, MD. We are grateful that our friends, neighbors, employees, board members and our communities chose to support this worthwhile endeavor.
