Maine Medical Center has announced the end of a fundraising campaign that began in 2016 to expand its facilities, primarily in Portland, and help grow the state’s medical workforce, reports ABC affiliate WMTW.
The seven-year capital campaign paid for the construction of new buildings creating dozens of new hospital beds.
The largest project, a 265,000 square foot new building, will have 96 private rooms and 19 procedural rooms when it’s completed next year. The focus will be cardiovascular care.
Another building, adjacent to MaineMed’s Coloumbe Tower, has been expanded by two floors, adding 85,000 square feet with space for 64 new private patient rooms.
The tower now hosts two helipads on its roof instead of one. Read more.
