World Class Care, Close to Home
Central Maine Healthcare (CMH) and Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) have joined together to make world-class care from Boston specialists available to central Maine patients.
Through this relationship, CMH physicians can collaborate with MGH specialists to best serve patients across the communities we serve.
This clinical affiliation includes the coordination of integrated specialty care services through the development and enhancement of clinical programs and services across CMH. Additionally, this relationship enables the development and/or refinement of systems for efficient and effective transfer of patients between CMH and MGH when necessary.
As an MGH affiliate, CMH can provide access to Boston-based specialists, clinical trials and groundbreaking research. When it’s best for a patient, CMH may coordinate care at MGH and then continue treatment closer to home as soon as possible.
Leveraging Connections for the Best Possible Care
Depending on the circumstances, MGH specialists and subspecialists are available to see patients directly, or via telemedicine, for the treatments and services listed below:
- Cardiovascular Care
- Trauma Surgery
- Neurology
- Clinical Research
This collaboration enables us to further extend the specialized expertise from a Boston academic medical center into an outstanding community hospital. Our focus is to continue fostering connections among clinicians that lead to the best possible care for patients and families.
Ultimately, what both Massachusetts General and York Hospitals hope to accomplish through this clinical affiliation is to bring an elevated level of medical expertise to our patients who need it most, allowing them to heal more quickly, within the community they care for and the community hospital that cares for them.
