🎉 Congratulations to Mary, RN IV, of the surgical care operating room team, recipient of the 2026 Nursing Excellence Award at MaineHealth Mid Coast Hospital.
Mary was recognized for her exceptional leadership, clinical expertise and compassionate care for both patients and colleagues. Known as a trusted resource nurse and dedicated team member, she consistently goes above and beyond to support those around her.
One powerful example highlighted during the nomination process was Mary volunteering to come in during off hours to assist with a rare and complex organ donation case — helping support both the care team and the patient’s family during an incredibly difficult moment.
Mary was honored during a special ceremony held May 7 in the Mid Coast Hospital Healing Garden, surrounded by colleagues, fellow nominees and family.
Thank you, Mary, for the extraordinary care, professionalism and compassion you bring to our patients and teams every day. 💙
