Welcome to Mount Desert Island Hospital

At Mount Desert Island Hospital, we serve a close-knit island and surrounding communities through our 25-bed critical access facility in Bar Harbor and a network of health centers across Mount Desert Island—all designed to provide comprehensive health care for residents and visitors. While primary care is our focus, we also provide those specialized services best delivered close to home. When care is needed off island, we expedite that process and then, as recovery begins, provide compassionate personal care that welcomes the returning patient home.
