Waldo County Healthcare is the ideal setting for healthcare professionals interested in helping to bring high-quality care to rural communities. While our setting offers the warmth and charm of small town America, our services and facilities are among the best. In fact, in 2009 our hospital received the Top Rural Hospital Award from the Leapfrog Group, for delivering the best quality care in the nation, while attaining the highest levels of efficiency. Our hospital’s recently-added $2.1 million Surgical Services Wing features three large operating rooms, a pre-operative room and comfortable staff areas.

In addition to quality healthcare, our area offers an incredible quality of life for those who choose to live and work here. Just 100 miles north of Portland, Waldo County includes beautiful Penobscot Bay and genuine New England working port towns along Maine’s pristine coast. Countless acres of forestland and the rolling hills of inland Waldo County offer countless opportunities for outdoor activities, for every season of the year. Our area’s serenity, combined with rich cultural events, concerts, galleries, and museums, as well as excellent public schools, make Waldo County an ideal home.
