On behalf of the Mid Coast Hospital Auxiliary, welcome!
We are men and women, friends, neighbors, associates, and family within the Midcoast Maine community who support the mission of Mid Coast Hospital to bring modern, compassionate, value-driven healthcare to our communities.
History of the Mid Coast Hospital Auxiliary
The Mid Coast Hospital Auxiliary was formed October 1, 2001. It is extremely active in supporting the mission of the hospital.
Prior to its formation, the Bath and Brunswick Auxiliaries existed in their communities to support the missions of the former Bath Memorial Hospital and Regional Memorial Hospital for over 100 combined years.
These two regional auxiliaries merged into one Auxiliary just prior to the opening of the new hospital. However, even as two separate auxiliaries, they cooperated for years on fundraising projects and meetings.
Activities
The Mid Coast Hospital Auxiliary leads a number of activities.
The hospital gift shop is one of the major fundraisers.
Additional events have included an annual yard sale, holiday bazaar, used book sale, book signings, and bake sales, proceeds of which all benefit the hospital and health career scholarships.

Scholarships
