On Monday we wished a happy retirement to Joann Lovell, director of Imaging, Northern Light CA Dean and Mayo Hospitals. Joann started as a CT tech in 1992 on a mobile unit that served Mayo Regional Hospital and other area hospitals. She came on full-time in 1999 when Mayo Hospital installed a fixed-based CT machine. Around 2004 she took on the department leader role at Mayo Hospital, and in recent years, she has also led Imaging at CA Dean Hospital.
Joann has guided the Mayo Hospital Imaging Department through a lot of change over the years, including new equipment and expanded capabilities, the merger with Northern Light Health, and, in 2024, the launch of Maine’s only Mobile Mammography Unit.
While she is still developing her “to do” list, she plans on making the most of retirement: spending time with family and friends, enjoying her new home, and much more.
Congratulations, Joann, on three decades of distinguished service to our hospital, patients, and community. We’ll miss you, and we wish you the best!
