For decades, Mount Desert Island Hospital has been honored to provide labor and delivery services, welcoming new lives into the community and supporting families through one of life’s most significant moments. The Hospital would like to start by thanking the amazing, dedicated, and exceptional caregivers who provide high-quality, patient-centered care to our community through our labor and delivery service. Their commitment to service, dedication, and compassion provided to our patients and families over the years has made a significant impact for so many.
MDI Hospital announced March 27th that it will close its Labor and Delivery Unit effective July 1st, citing a dramatic decline in births. The difficult decision comes after a comprehensive review of patient safety, staff readiness, and long-term viability.
We invite community members to join us via Zoom or in person at the Jesup Memorial Library from 4-5PM on Thursday, April 3rd to hear directly from hospital leadership about this difficult decision.
