Lorinda M MacDonald, APRN-PMHNP

I was hired to create the Behavioral Health Service line at Memorial in 2015. In January of 2018, I was made the Director of the IMAT program at Memorial in addition to being the Director of Behavioral Health. I also represent Memorial Hospital serving on the Maine Behavioral Health Leadership Council and the Maine Health Opioid Steering Committee, and serve on the Pequawket Valley Health Initiative in Fryeburg, ME. I am committed to creating access to -- and delivery of -- high quality behavioral health and addiction services.  I have been a champion for the underserved throughout my life including working with the homeless in Boston, managing welfare reform programs for teenage parents in Lowell, MA and creating public health policy for children with special needs in Massachusetts. In my free time, my husband and I are trying to finish renovations on our 1865 mercantile building and spend as much time as we can with our six children, 10 grandchildren and two adopted Frenchtons.
