CONWAY — One year after launching a service designed to help patients safely navigate the next step in their health-care journey, MaineHealth Memorial Hospital officially opened the new home of its interfacility transport program Tuesday, May 19, with a ribbon cutting.
The hospital celebrated the program’s success and the support from the hospital’s annual golf tournament that made this new home possible.
