“For many years, I have observed the team at Androscoggin serving Maine communities with distinction. It is clear to me that healthcare at home will serve to help transform our healthcare delivery system in ways that better serve patients and families while also providing a wonderful environment for healthcare providers to optimize well-being in their chosen professions. I am honored to join a team with such a wonderful reputation throughout Maine, and I am excited to invest my energy to expand Androscoggin’s mission in service to more Mainers and beyond.”
