About the MaineHealth Watson Health Center
The Watson Health Center is named in honor of longtime MaineHealth Lincoln Hospital volunteers, Herbert and Roberta Watson.
Completed in 2018, the MaineHealth 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.

To honor all volunteers in Lincoln County, The MaineHealth Watson Health Center in Damariscotta was named after Herbert and Roberta Watson. The Watsons hope that in the future, when someone asks, “Who are Herb and Roberta Watson and why is this building named after them?” that the answer will always be “they are are just a couple of volunteers who were honored to represent all the hundreds in the community,” Roberta explained.
