Planned Giving

Planned giving is a way to contribute to Central Maine Medical Center, Bridgton Hospital or Rumford Hospital through charitable donations made as part of your financial or estate planning. These gifts allow you to support our mission in a meaningful way, while also potentially providing financial benefits to you and your loved ones.

Please let us know if you have already included Central Maine Healthcare in your estate planning, or if you are considering doing so. Thank you.

Planned Giving Intention Form

Planned gifts can come in many forms, including:

Retirement Plans: You can designate a Central Maine Healthcare hospital as a beneficiary of your 401(k), IRA, or other retirement accounts, which may provide tax benefits to you or your estate.

Bequests: A gift made through your will or living trust. You can designate a specific amount or percentage of your estate to support one of our hospitals.

Charitable Gift Annuities: In exchange for a donation, you receive fixed, regular payments for life, and the remaining gift goes to one of our hospitals after your passing.

Charitable Remainder Trusts: These allow you to transfer assets into a trust, receive income during your lifetime, and designate the remainder to benefit one of our hospitals.

Life Insurance: By naming [Hospital Name] as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy, you can make a significant future gift while maintaining your premiums during your lifetime.

Quality & Safety

Vision for Quality

Delivering high-quality healthcare services is fundamental to everything we do at Central Maine Healthcare.

CMH is committed to providing the highest quality care to everyone we serve. How do we do this? By constant interaction with our patients and by monitoring, measuring, and evaluating everything we do. It’s always been our mission to deliver the best care available to our communities.

Quality Measures

Central Maine Healthcare closely monitors quality measures to ensure that its healthcare services not only meet quality standards but also continue to improve and even exceed expectations.

Patient Satisfaction

At Central Maine Healthcare, we not only measure the quality of the clinical services we provide, but we also survey patients to learn how they view their experiences throughout our system. The surveys are comprehensive; the detailed feedback is used to improve services.

Telehealth Services

Central Maine Healthcare now offers telehealth services, bringing you the care you need when you’re unable to leave home. Online and telephone visits are available at most of our outpatient locations.

What is Telehealth?

Telehealth is a service provided to connect you with your healthcare provider virtually, without having to leave the comfort of your home. Telehealth includes phone appointments and video appointments with your provider using technology such as a smartphone, computer or tablet. Depending on your needs and the purpose of your intended visit, you are able to speak your provider about medical conditions and concerns, receive a diagnosis and request prescriptions. To find out if a telehealth visit is right for you, contact the Patient Service Representative at one of our outpatient practices. We can discuss your options with you and schedule the visit.

Telephone Visits

Telephone visits are now available in all CMH primary care and specialty care practices, so you can conduct your healthcare visit by phone from the comfort of your home. Available for both current and new CMH patients, these appointments are scheduled by calling your practice of choice and requesting the appointment. Phone visits are the same cost as an office visit and are covered by all in-network insurance providers.

Online Visits by Smartphone, Computer or Tablet

Many Central Maine Healthcare primary care and specialty care practices now have the ability to conduct online visits. You can visit with your provider using a smartphone, computer or tablet. Below is a list of practices that are currently offering this service. We will continue to update the list as more are added.
