One of the country’s consistently highest rated hospitals is right in your own backyard. Maine Medical Center is the state’s premier referral hospital, offering services not available elsewhere, and also serves as a community hospital for Greater Portland. MMC was rated the fourth safest hospital in the U.S. and our nursing staff was recently rated in the top 3 percent in the world for nursing excellence. Which just proves what we’ve always known - in Maine, the grass is greener on both sides of the street.
