CONWAY — Brad Chapman, the new president of Memorial Hospital in North Conway, says the hospital is doing well and growing. It is also solidifying its connection to the MaineHealth system it joined over a decade ago.
Chapman, who took over as president in January, sat down with SUN-TV on Tuesday to talk about recent changes, including the rebranding of the hospital with a new name and logo.
