LEWISTON — Effective April 1 Hospice of Southern Maine and Andwell Health Partners will unite under one non-profit organization, strengthening their shared mission to serve individuals and families across Maine with compassionate, high-quality care.
Both organizations have long histories of supporting Maine communities and share a deep commitment to preserving strong, community-based, non-profit healthcare. By joining Hospice of Southern Maine with Andwell Health Partners, the boards of directors have made a deliberate and forward-looking decision to enhance their collective ability to support patients and families, invest in their extraordinary workforce and ensure long-term access to high-quality non-profit hospice, palliative care, home health and supportive services throughout the state.
“This merger reflects our shared belief that collaboration and scale are essential to sustaining non-profit care in today’s evolving healthcare environment,” said organizational leaders. “Together, we are better positioned to meet the growing and complex needs of the people we serve, while remaining rooted in the communities that rely on us.”
For patients and families, care teams and care plans will remain unchanged. Services will continue without interruption, ensuring continuity, familiarity and trust. What is changing is the organizations’ combined strength and ability to grow — creating an even more robust, compassionate and accessible non-profit healthcare option for Mainers.
