Awards & Recognition

We're very proud of the care and service we provide to patients and families like you, and we think we do a great job.

But don't just take our word for it. We have received the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) 5-Star Rating. We've also achieved recognition from Women’s Choice Awards®: America's 100 Best Hospitals for Patient Experience, Best Hospitals for Cancer Care, Best Hospitals for Orthopaedics and Best Mammogram Imaging Centers.

MaineGeneral is proud of its many employees throughout the Kennebec Valley region who strive each day to provide exceptional, patient-centered care for you and your loved ones.

To us, "Excellence at Work" isn't a tagline for a brochure or website.

This phrase instead serves as a constant reminder of the type of care and service we aspire to provide to every patient, every time.

We adhere to the values and standards of RESPECT:

  • Respect – showing compassion and respect
  • Excellence – doing our best at work and striving to exceed expectations
  • Safety – maintaining a safe and secure environment and speaking up for safety
  • Professionalism – taking ownership of actions
  • Empathy – showing caring and sensitivity for all
  • Communication – welcoming everyone and listening to and then responding to needs of others
  • Teamwork – working with others in a positive and supportive way
