Today we host the deep dive of Humanity at the Forefront in the healthcare industry. During this episode, hosts Jennifer Strahan, Lisa Counsell and Duffie Dixon follow-up last week’s interview with Bob Peterson, the CEO of Millinocket Regional Hospital, and discuss how the hospital is a leader in offering the human touch when providing healthcare to their patients. Another value they discuss is understanding the importance of Critical Access Hospitals to our communities.
Beyond the friendly staff and award-winning patient care, Millinocket Regional Hospital (MRH) provides an impressive range of specialty and general services, with a recent expansion resulting in the addition of eight new specialties and a Walk-In Care facility. In 2018, MRH was awarded the Press Ganey “Guardian of Excellence Award” for exceptional patient experience, a nationally-recognized symbol of achievement for hospitals who consistently perform within the top 5%. Providing jobs to approximately 250 people, MRH is the largest employer in the Katahdin Region and a crucial economic driver within its community.
