<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 />
