BRUNSWICK — Through quality evidence-based medical wellness programming, community outreach, and genuine caring, the Mid Coast Hospital’s Center for Community Health & Wellness has helped thousands of residents learn how to prevent and manage chronic diseases, improve their daily life, and enhance their general well-being.
The center serves as the hospital’s hub for health and wellness, offering a state-of-the-art space on 329 Maine Street in Brunswick for patients and those in need to find classes and resources covering topics such as CardioPulmonary rehabilitation, medical exercise, nutrition and weight loss, mental health, Parkinson’s Disease, tobacco cessation, and more. The center also hosts multiple ongoing free education and demonstration series which focus on healthy lifestyle options including “Food for Health”, “Cooking with a Doc”, and “Health Within Reach.”
“It really is amazing when you look at the list of classes and events promoting positive and healthy steps in the lives of community members. Plus, the exercise programs for walking, running, and swimming help increase physical activity to improve the quality of life for participants,” said Dan Walsh, president and CEO of Norway Savings Bank.
The center has drawn donations and support from many local businesses inspired by its impact, including Norway Savings Bank, which donated $1,500 last month and has made contributions to the center for decades.
The most recent donation is a sponsorship for the 31st Annual Golf Fore! Health Tournament at Brunswick Golf Club on Wednesday, Sept. 4. The annual event brings together healthcare leaders, golf enthusiasts, community members, and businesses for a day of friendly competition with all proceeds supporting the center.
“NSB has been a leadership sponsor for over 20 years and has been an important part of the center’s success and impact in our region. The continued partnership and generosity of Norway Savings is greatly appreciated by the entire Mid Coast family,” said Constance Jones-Morris, senior director of philanthropy for Mid Coast Hospital.
