<strong>Mount</strong> <strong>Desert</strong> <strong>Island</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong> is<br />

where my family and I receive care,<br />

and where I serve as Chair of the<br />

Board of Trustees. This really is<br />

“my <strong>Hospital</strong>.”<br />

As you’ll read in this report, many<br />

people can make that claim, for a<br />

lot of different reasons. Everyday<br />

the <strong>Hospital</strong> helps people regain<br />

and improve their health. It<br />

provides professional opportunity<br />

and job fulfillment. The <strong>Hospital</strong><br />

offers people a variety of ways to<br />

serve and support their community.<br />

<strong>MDI</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong> also provides<br />

access to care that keeps families<br />

healthy and prevents illness from<br />

taking lives too soon.<br />

This report provides only a small<br />

sample of the ways people connect<br />

to and benefit from their <strong>Hospital</strong>.<br />

<strong>MDI</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong> and others like it are<br />

also the only source of primary<br />

care that keeps chronic disease at<br />

bay. The <strong>Hospital</strong> provides millions<br />

of dollars each year in free and uncompensated<br />

care, and subsidizes<br />

health services that help keep our<br />

friends and neighbors fit and healthy.<br />

I’m grateful that <strong>MDI</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong><br />

is here for my family and my<br />

community. And, like the people<br />

featured in this report, I’m proud<br />

to say this is my <strong>Hospital</strong>.<br />

Terry Musson<br />

Chairman, Board of Trustees<br />
