What good
friends do to make life better for all of
us...
Gifts of money
and priceless in-kind volunteerism combined
parlayed to over $786,000 in contributions
during fiscal year 2005-2006. The following
highlights needs successfully funded through
donor appeals and special events:
New Cardio/Pulmonary Rehab Monitors
An appeal by Douglas Trenkle, DO resulted in
you giving $41,808.11. It allowed the
replacement of a monitoring system passed
down from the Intensive Care Unit 10 years
ago. Hundreds of patients will benefit from
the technology and safety offered by this
vital equipment. It provides for a better
quality of life. Thanks again to the 209
people who made this possible.

Newly
completed Med/Surg nursing station – a gift
of sponsors and patron of the Poinsettia
Ball. |
Nursing Station Center
R. H. Foster Energy and Machias Savings Bank
Poinsettia Ball Nets Receipts of $29,000 to
Fund New Nursing Station Center
The
nursing center station was more than 25
years old. It was out of date. It
was inefficient. Now, thanks to
community support there is a new nursing
station center. This modern,
user-friendly nursing station now exists on
the medical surgical floor.
New Birthing Bed and
Bassinet for Maternity Unit
Bar Harbor Bank & Trust Open Golf Tournament
Funds New Birthing Bed and Bassinet for
Maternity Unit
The
15th annual golf event at the Bar
Harbor Golf Course and Northeast Harbor
Golf Course provided $14,400 for a new
birthing bed. Deliveries at Maine Coast
Memorial Hospital are growing by over 22% a
year. This year the Bar Harbor Bank & Trust
Open also funded a new $1,330 bassinet and
provided over $6,000 in scholarship grants
for special garments used in the treatment
of lymphedema.
BHBT President
and CEO Joe Murphy always
carries double when it comes
to community needs. |
Maybe a chair from the space shuttle?

New Defibrillators
The heartwarming and overwhelming support of
Dr. Kenneth Christian’s appeal provided many
new defibrillators throughout the critical
areas of the hospital.
"Everyone
is so wonderful. I am so
humbled. How can I ever that you all?"
—Kenneth Christian, MD
