Mariah Cormier comes to MDI Hospital because of her passion to invigorate Maine communities through meaningful storytelling and advocacy for institutions with the ability to make a difference for residents and visitors. As a skilled writer, event planner, media specialist, and marketing professional, Mariah has managed events and press in conjunction with the Governor’s Office as well as with companies and donors in the Bangor region.

As a graduate of the University of Maine, she holds a B.A. in Communication and Marketing and is currently pursuing her M.A. in Communication and Public Relations at Southern New Hampshire University. Mariah’s love of communication studies led her to public relations and marketing work in higher education. Prior to coming to MDI Hospital, she served as the Director of Marketing and Public Relations at Eastern Maine Community College in Bangor. While with the community college, she saw first-hand how important healthcare and healthcare workers are to rural communities and was excited to make the transition into this field.

Mariah grew up in Massachusetts but has been in Maine now for almost ten years. She lives in Hampden with her husband, Stephen and their Bernese Mountain Dog, Rick. As someone who is “from away” as they say, she has fallen in love with her chosen home and couldn’t imagine living anywhere else. In her free time, Mariah likes to travel, try new restaurants, go hiking, and cook.
