Annual Campaign

Annual campaign donors are critical to MaineHealth Pen Bay Hospital and MaineHealth Waldo Hospital - from acquiring essential equipment to supporting campus enhancement projects. 

Support the future of health care in your community

Pictured below, Dr. Minal Cordeiro stands next to a Hana® Orthopedic Surgery Table which was purchased in the fall of 2023 thanks to a generous donor. The donor wanted his contribution to help recruit and retain top-notch providers, improve patient surgical outcomes and increase access to care. The new table has allowed surgeons to perform minimally-invasive procedures, including anterior total hip replacements, which had previously only been available at a few hospitals in the state. 

"The greatest benefit for our patients is that, in most cases, the anterior approach to total hip replacement will be a same day procedure, and patients experience less pain and faster recovery times. They can be walking with no assistance within a couple of days." - Dr. Minal Cordeiro

Annual campaign contributions of close to $50,000 provided the opportunity for 17 care teams members to further their education which also helps us develop our workforce. As we look to the future, we are focusing on three key areas:

• Investing in equipment and technology: Prioritize the acquisition of critical medical equipment and technology, ensuring that we can meet the evolving needs of our patients.
• Developing our workforce: Invest in the development of our workforce through expanded training opportunities and scholarship programs.
• Implementing environmental sustainability initiatives: Further our dedication to environmental sustainability through projects like transitioning to energy-efficient LED lighting and improving insulation throughout our campuses.

How will my gift be recognized?

All gifts, regardless of the amount, help us with our mission. Every donor receives a written acknowledgment from the philanthropy department and every donor’s name is included in the annual report, unless anonymity is requested. We love to learn more about why our donors choose to support us, so we may also reach out via email or phone to tell you how much we appreciate you.
