Bar Harbor, Maine – Mount Desert Island (MDI) Hospital announces the completion of its updates to their Interfaith Chapel. The Interfaith Chapel, located on the 2nd floor of the hospital, is open to patients, family members, friends, employees, and all other visitors who need a place of peace. A ribbon cutting was held on October 10th, 2024 and included hospital staff, community members, and volunteers. This project serves as a tribute to MDI Hospital’s commitment to serve the needs of patients, employees, and visitors of all faiths.
Liz Cutler of MDI ArtWaves created and donated customized art pieces for the chapel to compliment the nature-focused aesthetic. “It’s been a lot of fun to do it. Working with MDIH was a breeze, everyone was very patient, and the process was exciting. I love collaborating, so this has been a great collaboration,” says Cutler.
President/CEO of MDI Hospital, Chrissi Maguire says of the remodel, “This project was made possible through the efforts of employees looking to improve patient experience and community members who wanted to offer their time and resources. The result of these efforts is a new and improved space where patients and their families can go for quiet reflection and peace.”
The hospital would like to thank ArtWaves, Hospital Admin and Advancement staff, hospital engineering staff, and the faith leaders of all denominations in our region who offered input and resources.
