Community Health Fair returns to Bridgton Hospital

May 23, 2025 by Jim Cyr

The Bridgton Hospital Community Health Fair is back. The hospital held its first annual fair since the pandemic.

Turnout was strong for the event that offered people in the Lakes Region community a chance to tour the hospital and learn about expanded services in cardiology, orthopedics and oncology that are now available. Mammograms were offered and there were opportunities to become new patients of the hospital’s primary care doctors.

Attendees were also able to explore job opportunities with Central Maine Healthcare.

It was also a great event for children who were treated to face paintings, a bounce house and a chance to meet with Dr. Eddy, the official mascot of Central Maine Healthcare.

“It was so great to see members of the community come to the hospital to enjoy this great event,” said Stephany Jacques, president of Bridgton Hospital. “Bridgton Hospital has had some significant improvements in recent years, and this offered the public an opportunity to learn about what is happening here and how they can benefit. We look forward to having this event again next year!”

Bridgton Hospital nurse receives Winnie Moore Award

May 1, 2025 by Jim Cyr

A Bridgton Hospital nurse is this year’s recipient of the Winnie Moore Award.

Janette Laplante, RN, who is a nurse leader at Bridgton, was recognized for exemplifying leadership, mentorship and commitment to caring for the Lakes Region community.

She was selected by a committee, and the nomination letter reads, in part: Janette is a nurse at heart and continues to care for patients. She cares deeply and holistically for each and every one, as well as for their families. Recently a patient passed away. Without hesitation, Janette created space in the inpatient unit for the family to spend time with their loved one. Through all that Janette does, she cares deeply for those she leads, those she cares for and has consistently demonstrated exceptional dedication and compassion in her leadership and practice.

The Winnie Moore Award is presented every year during Nurses Week to a single Bridgton Hospital nurse in recognition of clinical nursing excellence.  It’s named after Winnie Moore, who spent most of her career in Bridgton, working as a nurse at Northern Cumberland Memorial Hospital, which later became Bridgton Hospital. She was the director of nursing at Bridgton Hospital for 29 years and served on the hospital’s board of directors.

“The bar for winning this award is high, so that says a lot about Janette’s accomplishment” said Stephany Jacques, RN, president of Bridgton Hospital. “Her commitment to nursing excellence sets the tone for the quality of care we provide here at Bridgton Hospital, and the people of the Lakes Region community are fortunate to have her with us.”

The Woman’s Hospital Association Is Back

April 25, 2025 by Jim Cyr

After a hiatus due to the COVID 19 pandemic, the Woman’s Hospital Association (WHA) is back. The WHA has a long history of raising funds for critical medical equipment and programs at Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston, as well as Maine College of Health Professions (MCHP).

To announce their comeback, members held a spring bake sale at CMMC on April 16 to raise money for scholarships for students attending MCHP.

“The bake sale was a terrific success, and it’s just the beginning of a new chapter of fundraising for CMMC,” said June Van Mourik, president of the WHA. “The pioneering women who started the WHA back in the late 1800s were instrumental in establishing what is now CMMC. We are excited to continue their legacy.”

From mammography machines to defibrillators, the organization has raised $1.2 million for the hospital.

“The WHA’s contributions—from the funds they’ve raised to their role as goodwill ambassadors and passionate advocates for both CMMC and the community—are truly invaluable,” said Lisa LaVallee, system director of Philanthropy at CMH. “We’re deeply grateful for everything they’ve done over the years to support this hospital and its patients.”

The group is looking for people who want to make a difference in their community and join the WHA. Those interested can learn more by emailing giving@cmhc.org.

Major accomplishment for CMMC breast health team

April 18, 2025 by Jim Cyr

An enormous achievement for CMMC’s breast health team: they have been awarded re-accreditation status by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC), following a recent site visit by the organization.

“As a participant of the NAPBC, your breast center has earned distinction as an ACS Surgical Quality Partner. This designation recognizes that your institution is dedicated to maintaining the highest standards in surgical care,” a statement from the NAPBC says.

“This re-accreditation is confirmation of what our patients already know: they are in good hands with the breast care professionals at CMMC,” said Renee Pinette, MD, OB/GYN and breast surgical oncologist on Central Maine Healthcare. “A breast cancer diagnosis can be devastating, but this seal of approval from NAPBC demonstrates our patients can trust they’re receiving comprehensive, compassionate and coordinated care from a dedicated team of specialists.”

“It’s wonderful to hear the dedication of our team to providing exceptional care has been recognized,” said Jessica Gironi, oncology accreditation manager for Central Maine Healthcare. “The reviewer’s comments highlight the strengths of the program, especially the offering of in-house services and the proactive steps taken to support patients.”

Central Maine Healthcare offers a full range of breast care treatment, including diagnosis and advanced diagnosis, prevention, treatment, ultrasounds and MRIs, biopsies and breast cancer surgery and reconstruction.
