Thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday at the Healthy Aging Luncheon at Jeff's Catering & Event Center. Guests heard from Dr. Pedro Gomez and Dr. Michael Starks of our General Surgery team as they shared insights on the latest advancements in surgical care.

Dr. Gomez discussed minimally invasive procedures utilizing the da Vinci surgical system, while Dr. Starks highlighted endocrine surgery and the specialized care available close to home. Attendees also had the opportunity to connect with our team to learn more about MyChart, get registered, and explore the many ways it helps patients stay connected to their care.

At St. Joseph Healthcare, we're proud to bring expert physicians, innovative technology, and compassionate care together, ensuring our community has access to exceptional surgical services right here in Maine.

Thank you for spending your afternoon with us and allowing us to be a part of your healthcare journey.
