History

In the mid1990s Central Maine Medical Center began establishing a dedicated trauma program that was later designated as one of three such programs in Maine This program was bolstered in 1998 with the creation of LifeFlight of Maine a medical helicopter service jointly administered with Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor

In 1999 Northern Cumberland Memorial Hospital and Rumford Community Hospital merged with Central Maine Healthcare CMMCs parent company The facilities soon changed their names to Bridgton Hospital and Rumford Hospital In addition to the healthcare services that Central Maine Healthcare has helped develop at the two organizations the holding company has assisted in plant development at the facilities In December 2001 Bridgton Hospital dedicated an entirely new stateoftheart facility

CMMCs longtime effort to establish itself as a tertiary medical center offering a comprehensive array of the highest level healthcare services began to take a more tangible form when the hospital opened the Central Maine Heart and Vascular Institute in the spring of 2003 CMHVI offers open heart and cardiac angioplasty services to a population base of some 400000 people in central and western Maine

As Central Maine Medical Center continues its transformation to a tertiary medical center its mission remains unchanged providing the best possible healthcare to the regions residents
