“I was looking for a place where I might be of service to a diverse socioeconomic group — a place where I was genuinely needed. After looking at several opportunities across the country, a chance conversation with an old friend directed me to Maine Coast Memorial Hospital and Maine Coast Women Care. Here in Ellsworth there was an opportunity to work with four proficient and talented midwives as part of Maine Coast Women Care. The chance to come up and work with them for a month arose and I took advantage of it.

“It turned out that this was just what I was looking for — a great practice in a wonderful place. I have decided to stay.”
