Each year, the MaineHealth Annual Report offers an opportunity to reflect on our shared journey—where we have been, the challenges we face, and the progress we are making together toward our vision of working together so our communities are the healthiest in America.
This past year has underscored both the challenges and the promise of health care. Across the nation, health systems continue to grapple with workforce shortages, financial strain, and complex patient needs. Yet, at MaineHealth, we remain strong because of the extraordinary commitment of our care team and community partners. Their dedication allows us to innovate, to adapt, and to continue serving our patients and communities with excellence.

INVESTING IN OUR COMMUNITIES: Over $1.18 billion
In keeping with our vision, mission and values, MaineHealth offers a wide range of community programs focused on disease management, prevention and population health, free of charge — and no one is ever denied care because of inability to pay.
In 2024, the MaineHealth quantifiable value of community benefits at cost was $1,185,023,952.*
*This reflects all of the programs and services MaineHealth provides without reimbursement, including uncompensated care, professional education and training, community health services and support, and research.
The $300 million increase from 2023 can be attributed primarily to a $200 million rise in subsidized health services and an additional $100 million Medicaid shortfall.
