MaineGeneral Medical Center
MaineGeneral
Medical Center was created July, 1997 with the merger of Mid-Maine
Medical Center in Waterville and Kennebec Valley Medical Center
in Augusta. The Medical Centers are part of a network of health
care services that make up the MaineGeneral Health system. Maine’s
third largest health care system, MaineGeneral Health, provides
residents of the greater Kennebec Valley a lifetime of health
care available through one consolidated system. 
Progressive
services and programs, supported by advanced technology, are provided
at medical center campuses in Waterville and Augusta. Although
licensed and oper-ated as a single medical center, the core medical
services are available in both com-munities.
MaineGeneral
Medical Center in Waterville has two campuses – The Thayer Unit
located on North Street and the Seton Unit on Chase Avenue.
Among the
services provided at the Thayer Unit are 24-hour emergency services,
maternity, newborn and child health programs, critical care units,
dialysis, inpatient and outpatient surgical procedures, and many
diagnostic services.
 The
Seton Unit is the site for acute rehabilitation. At the Rehabilitation
Institute, patients and families work together with a team of
rehab professionals dedicated to achieving greater independence
for patients following a disease or disabling condition.
Specialized
services for children and their families, and inpatient and outpatient
mental health and substances abuse services are also provided
at the Seton Unit. Also on the grounds of the Seton Unit is the
Adolescent Recovery Program. MaineGeneral Medical Center is only
one of two hospitals in Maine to provide inpatient treatment for
teens with substance abuse problems and/or psychiatric difficulties.
As teaching
hospitals, the MaineGeneral campuses in both Waterville and Augusta
are clinical sites for the Maine-Dartmouth Family Practice Residency
Program. Accredited since 1973, the Maine-Dartmouth Family Practice
Residency Program is the oldest family practice residency in New
England. It is affiliated with the Dartmouth Medical School.
In addition
to the hospitals, two family practice centers provide training
for the 27 residents enrolled in the residency program. The Maine
Dartmouth Family Practice in Fairfield is three miles from the
Waterville hospital.
MaineGeneral
Medical Center offers many community education programs and services
throughout the year. It also offers a variety of support groups
in Waterville and Augusta.
In the greater
Waterville region, MaineGeneral Medical Center, in partnership
with other local health care providers, service agencies, and
the United Way of Mid-Maine, form the Waterville Area PATCH Coalition.
This group identifies and assigns priorities to unmet health,
social, and community needs in the area.

Inland
Hospital
 Inland
Hospital is a 48-bed, not-for-profit hospital located on Kennedy
Memorial Drive in Waterville, Maine. It is a full-service, medical-surgical
facility providing primary, acute-care and long-term care at Lakewood,
a continuing care center, located on the Inland campus. Also under
the Inland umbrella are the New Horizons Health Care physician
practices in Unity, Madison, North Anson and Waterville.
Besides acute
care, Inland services include: ambulatory surgery; birthing center;
rehabilitation; long-term care; home care; 24-hour emergency care;
sleep lab and specialized clinics.
As a member
of Eastern Maine Healthcare Systems since 1997, Inland is Maine's
hospital model of the future: it represents a primary care facility,
tightly integrated, both clinically and operationally, with an
advanced medical center. Eastern Maine Medical Center (EMMC) in
Bangor is the system's tertiary care hospital and is Inland's
link to the highest level of medical care in Maine.
Through this
partnership and its technological connections, Inland patients
have access to clinical sophistication that otherwise would not
be available in a small city.
Inland was
founded in 1943 by a group of osteopathic physicians. The osteopathic
principles of treating the whole patient rather than just the
disease are still very much a part of the Inland philosophy. Today,
the active, courtesy and consulting medical staff of 200+ is a
mix of DOs and MDs.
With 460+
employees, Inland (with its subsidiaries) is Waterville's 4th
largest employer. Payroll and benefits equal more than 23 million
dollars annually.
Inland's
credo is Where You Come First because that's how the staff believes
patients should be treated when they enter the hospital. The culture
of caring at Inland has earned it top ratings in patient and employee
satisfaction surveys. It's described as a hospitality feel at
Inland; whether it's a housekeeper, a nurse, or a radiologic technician,
the staff has time for their patients and each other.
