REMINDER: MaineHealth practices are closed today in observance of Juneteenth. Our hospitals are, of course, always open.

Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, commemorates Federal troops arriving in Galveston, TX on June 19, 1865 to announce the end of the Civil War and to enforce the freedom of enslaved African Americans. This occurred a full two and a half years after issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation by President Lincoln. The following year, freed people in Texas organized the first, annual celebration of “Jubilee Day” on June 19, and this tradition grew and spread throughout the US as Black Texans migrated to other parts of the country. Today, Juneteenth is often celebrated with loved ones or community members gathering at cookouts to emphasize togetherness, shared history and culture, rest, and the right to freely assemble. Essentially, Juneteenth is Black Independence Day, a celebration of life, love, and liberty.

Big things are taking shape at MaineHealth Mid Coast Hospital's future Cancer Care Center.

Construction continues to move forward at 81 Medical Center Drive in Brunswick, where the foundation for the linear accelerator vault is now complete. Recently, more than 40 truckloads of concrete were poured to create the six-foot-thick walls that will house the linear accelerator, a key component of future cancer treatment services.

Team members and their families gathered to watch this exciting milestone, including some of our youngest supporters who had a front-row seat to the action.

Scheduled to open in winter 2026, the new Cancer Care Center will help bring comprehensive cancer care closer to home for patients and families throughout our region.

UPDATE: The Parkview Campus is open and all services are operating.

Due to an electrical fire on the exterior power line, the MaineHealth Mid Coast Hospital Parkview Campus, located at 329 Maine St. in Brunswick, will be closed for the remainder of today, Wednesday, May 27.

The building is currently without power, phones and internet service. While portions of the building are operating on backup generator power, service has been inconsistent.

All appointments scheduled at Parkview today will be rescheduled. Phones have been transitioned to after-hours processes.

Teams are continuing to evaluate the situation. While we are hopeful power will be restored today, the Parkview Campus will remain closed until tomorrow.

Thank you for your patience and flexibility as we work through this situation safely.

How it started… ➡️ How it’s going

20 years ago, “Redy” helped bring the Let’s Go! message to life to families. Do you remember Redy?

Fast forward 20 years – Let’s Go! has grown and evolved—but the message hasn’t changed: healthy eating active living are still the foundation of good health.

Congratulations to Danielle, RN II, recipient of the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses at MaineHealth Mid Coast Hospital. 🌼

The nomination also highlighted Danielle’s steady kindness and support throughout the experience, noting that “her kindness was not conditional, it was present during moments of laughter, chaos, pain and excitement.”

We are proud to recognize Danielle for the meaningful impact she makes on patients and families every day. Congratulations on this well-deserved honor!
