BAR HARBOR, ME — Mount Desert Island (MDI) Hospital is honored to celebrate a generous $100,000 gift from The Bangor Savings Bank Foundation in support of its Campus Improvement Project. This significant investment will help fund critical improvements to MDI Hospital’s main campus, ensuring that high-quality, compassionate care remains accessible to the people of the MDI region for generations to come.
“For more than 170 years, Bangor Savings Bank has been committed to helping Maine communities thrive,” said Christina Maguire, President and CEO of MDI Hospital. “This generous gift is not only an investment in our hospital, but also an investment in the health, safety, and resilience of our community. The Bangor Savings Bank Foundation’s support will help us create a modern, patient-focused campus designed to meet the evolving healthcare needs of our families, neighbors, and visitors.”
The Campus Improvement Project, a part of the Building Our Future campaign, will provide essential upgrades to emergency and surgical services, expand access to specialty care, and enhance patient comfort and privacy. Improvements to the hospital’s facilities will give care teams the space, tools, and technology they need to deliver lifesaving care when it matters most.
“Strong, healthy communities require access to high-quality, compassionate care. The Bangor Savings Bank Foundation is proud to support Mount Desert Island Hospital in its work to provide exceptional healthcare and enhance the well-being of the community,” said Gavin Robinson, SVP, Community Relations Manager and Public Finance Officer at Bangor Savings Bank. “As a Foundation, we are committed to investing in the health of our region to help ensure a resilient, vibrant future.”
