| | :: EMHS - History :: |
 | | When president and CEO Norman A. Ledwin was recruited to lead EMH in 1993, he was charged with developing a regional, economically and clinically integrated system of providers, to incorporate healthcare services from the Bangor region into the surrounding nine counties. |
 | | Second, EMH linked different levels of care, such as home health, hospitals, long-term care facilities, and physicians, so that a continuum of care could be developed that would provide all of our communities with equal access to high quality healthcare. |
 | | In 1998, EMH partnered with Central Maine Healthcare to establish LifeFlight of Maine, the medical helicopter service, literally linking every hospital in Maine, to serve the most critically ill of the state’s patients needing this service. |
