MaineGeneral Medical Center Gets An “A” Grade

Additionally, earlier this month, Women’s Choice Awards named the hospital one of the top 100 hospitals for patient experience - the only one in Maine to get that accolade.

And, Waterville' MaineGeneral Medical Center’s Thayer Center for Health received Healthgrade's 2019 Outstanding Patient Experience Award, given to the top 10% of the country's hospitals.
