Stacy Brown Hired as MDI Hospital Director of Fiscal Services

Mount Desert Island Hospital has announced the hiring of Stacy Brown as its new Director of Fiscal Services. She replaces Brad Perkins who is now the Hospital’s Vice President of Finance.

Prior to joining MDI Hospital she served as Finance Director at Downeast Health Services in Ellsworth for three years and as the Business Manager for the Regional Medical Center in Lubec for ten years.

In her new position, Ms. Brown supervises a staff of eight people and oversees budgeting, reimbursement and accounting functions for the Hospital, including payroll and accounts payable. She is also in charge of the Materials Management department, which is the purchasing arm of the Hospital.

Her responsibilities include the preparation of financial statements for the Board of Trustees’ Finance Committee and cost reports for Medicaid and Medicare, along with various other reporting and financial analysis duties.

“I like the culture of MDI Hospital,” said Ms. Brown. “It feels more like a family environment than a corporation. I’m also impressed with the level of training and the team approach to strategic planning.”

“We’re thrilled to have someone as qualified as Stacy on our team,” said Perkins. “Her background in rural health care and experience in finance are a valuable combination for MDI Hospital.”

Ms. Brown lives in Lamoine with her husband and two daughters.

“It’s such a beautiful race,” she said. “The scenery is breathtaking, and the crowd energy is amazing. My mom has come up both years to cheer me on, which also makes it really special.” Whether she’s racing along the island’s winding roads or venturing into Acadia’s trails, Caitlin has found that being outdoors recharges her and deepens her appreciation for the intersection between health, resilience, and nature, a passion that has inspired her next step.

After residency completion this year, Caitlin is pursuing a fellowship in Wilderness Medicine, a field that perfectly blends her love for the outdoors with her dedication to emergency care. “Working at MDI Hospital has been an example of the merger between helping people in challenging environments and working closely in nature that I hope to experience during fellowship,” she said.

Reflecting on her time at MDI Hospital, Caitlin expressed deep gratitude for the people and experiences that have shaped her journey. “I plan to use the skills I have learned across my rotations at MDI Hospital going forward into my medical career so that I can provide great patient-centered care,” she said. “I will also remember the wonderful people I have met and cared for here who have helped shape my medical training to date.”

Whether running along the rugged coastline or responding to patients in the ED, Caitlin has found that MDI offers the perfect mix of challenge, inspiration, and community. It’s no surprise that for her, coming back to Mount Desert Island felt less like returning to a rotation, and more like coming home.
