Maine’s healthcare system faces a growing crisis as access, affordability, and workforce pressures collide. With too few providers, rising costs, struggling rural providers, and increasing demand from an aging population, many residents face significant barriers to care.

This event will explore the systemic challenges faced by two key hospitals, including workforce gaps, governmental funding issues, and health system struggles—and spotlight the role they play in supporting Maine’s broader healthcare delivery system and rebuilding the workforce pipeline.

Join us for an important conversation on the future of healthcare in Southern Maine and the collaborative solutions needed to ensure care for all of our communities.
