With its diverse geography, people who love the outdoors love Maine. It has a rugged coastline, miles of rivers and streams and thousands of acres of forested woodlands. At the same time, the state has many excellent restaurants, bookstores, movie houses and theaters.

Maine's hospitals offer healthcare professionals a special "quality of life" as well. Our hospitals are community focused and committed to ensuring that every patient receives personal attention and high quality care. Hospitals are located in virtually every type of environment in which you'd like to live and work. Maine's famous coastline is dotted with hospitals located a stone's throw from the ocean. Inland hospitals are in communities close to peaceful lakes, fishing, ski resorts and hiking trails. Our largest medical centers are in small, manageable cities with an urban flavor and plenty of cultural activities.
