Maine Medical Center

Maine General Hospital opened its doors in 1874, after five years of planning, fundraising, and construction following its incorporation by the state legislature in 1868. The forty-bed facility served 114 patients during its first year.

The Maine Eye and Ear Infirmary opened in Portland in 1890 to provide eye and ear treatment to the poor, and Children's Hospital opened in 1908, to provide free and comprehensive medical care to Portland's children. These three institutions merged in 1951 to become Maine Medical Center.

A series of construction and renovation projects, including a $46 million expansion in 1984, has created the present-day complex of more than a million square feet. Today's Maine Medical Center, is the largest hospital in northern New England.
