MaineGeneral’s mission is to enhance, every day, the health of our patients, our families and our communities. Employees are incorporated in every facet of this mission through transparency, inclusion in decision making, and a focus on areas where employees can make daily impacts on the service they provide to patients.
Employees
Employees take ownership of their work. MaineGeneral has incorporated and spread Lean methods of production, empowering employees to speak up and find ways to incorporate “just do it” work improvements. They are offered training opportunities to help implement processes to reduce waste and improve quality of service to patients and other internal departments.
Company Benefits
Get Great Care: Employees have different health care needs, so we offer two robust insurance plans to support their physical and mental health. They also receive discounted services provided by MaineGeneral clinicians.
Put Family First: We offer paid parental bonding leave to support employees with growing families. This applies to benefits-eligible employees who have completed one year of employment.
Build Your Future: Yearly assessments help our employees grow professionally and ensure they receive fair and equitable pay. We also offer employer-matched retirement programs to help save for the future.
Support the Community: We’re stronger together and our donations make a difference where we live, through local programs that positively affect the lives of others.
Unplug & Revive: We offer a generous earned time program for part-time and full-time employees.
Community engagement
Employees love working at MaineGeneral Health because they know they make a difference in the lives of those in their community and they are valued for their specialized skills, dedication and compassion.
Culture
Health care is personal and experiential. Those who are driven to work in a health system — whether on the front lines providing direct patient care or in back offices reviewing regulations and finances — excel at giving great experiences. MaineGeneral’s policies and procedures are aligned to create a culture of excellence where every employee can and does contribute to something special. MaineGeneral sets high expectations and gives its employees the tools to grow and achieve. Every person is empowered to attain their full potential at MaineGeneral.
Last March, I was nearing completion of my second-to-last six-week clinical rotation. More and more hospitals and clinics closed their doors to students due to COVID-19, but MaineGeneral opened its doors to us. I spent time in a few departments during the rotation and was struck by how much everyone genuinely enjoyed their workplace. My preceptor also went above and beyond to keep all of the students safe and to provide an optimal learning environment. I had not considered applying to MaineGeneral, but the warmth and overall great environment I experienced changed my mind. I believe exceptional patient care is best delivered by those who feel cared for themselves, and MaineGeneral showed they share that belief.
