Mount Desert Island Hospital

Portia Judson, RN was honored with The DAISY Award? For Extraordinary Nurses at MDI Hospital. The award is part of the DAISY Foundation's programs to recognize the super-human efforts nurses perform every day. The nomination submitted said, "While descending the Giant Slide Trail in Acadia National Park Search and Rescue was called, eventually I was able to walk out to the trailhead, and my daughter drove me directly to the ER at MDI Hospital. I was promptly taken in and escorted to treatment room where I first met Portia. She got me settled, checked me out and began to calm my nerves. She took my vitals, cleaned my wounds, and began a more thorough evaluation with the help of Gordon Murphy. They made a great team. After we got the results of my scans, I was cleared for discharge. Before we left Portia gave us a great recommendation for a pizza joint that was still open. It was delicious I will ever be grateful for the care and support I received from Portia. She did MDI Hospital and the island proud." Congratulations Portia, this recognition was well-deserved!

This week is hospital week! Join us in celebrating our incredible hospital and health center staff who work together to provide critical access to quality care to our communities. No matter what area they work in, everyone at MDI Hospital is a part of a team that works together. Our doctors, nurses, and clinical staff couldn't provide a high level of care without our nutrition services, security, engineering, and environmental staff. Our administrators couldn't perform their roles without input and guidance from our medical teams and frontline staff. It takes a lot of diverse people and roles to make a hospital function day in and day out, and we are appreciative for every member of our team. Happy #HospitalWeek! #healthcare #hospital #mdi #mdihospital #ruralhealthcare #barharbor #maine
