Summary

Central Maine Healthcare and Prime Healthcare Foundation have finalized their affiliation agreement, allowing the residents of central, western, and Midcoast Maine to continue to have access to the highest-quality, most advanced health care in the region. 

Cain Brothers was engaged by Central Maine Healthcare as its exclusive advisor based on its expertise in the hospital and health system sector and strong understanding of the New England market. Cain Brothers engaged with parties interested in continuing CMH’s mission and finalized an affiliation agreement with Prime Healthcare Foundation. Terms include continued local governance and management, ongoing community commitment, and significant capital investment, and are subject to regulatory approval.

Central Maine Healthcare is an integrated health system serving more than 400,000 residents and includes 600 physicians and advanced practice professionals in more than 40 locations, as well as Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston, a 250-bed, not-for-profit, Level III Trauma Center that serves as the base for LifeFlight of Maine, the state’s only medical helicopter. CMH also operates the Bridgton and Rumford hospitals, two 25-bed critical-access hospitals serving the Lakes Region and River Valley communities, respectively.

CMH includes two long-term care communities, Bolster Heights, an 84-bed assisted living facility, and Rumford Community Home, an 85-bed, active-living community, as well as Maine’s first nursing and medical imaging programs, Maine College of Health Professions. 

Prime Healthcare is one of the nation’s leading health systems, serving more than 2.6 million patient visits annually. With nearly 45,000 employees and physicians, Prime operates 44 hospitals and more than 300 outpatient locations in 14 states. Fourteen of the company's hospitals are members of the Prime Healthcare Foundation, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit public charity. Based in Ontario, Canada, Prime is nationally recognized for quality care and has been named a Top 10 and Top 15 Health System by Truven Health Analytics. Its hospitals have been named among the nation’s “100 Top Hospitals” 69 times and have received more Patient Safety Excellence Awards from Healthgrades than any other health system in the past eight years.
