Job description

About MDI Hospital

Rooted in Community. Inspired by Care.

Mount Desert Island Hospital isn't just a place where care is delivered - it's where care begins, where it grows, and where it connects us all. Located in the heart of Bar Harbor, surrounded by the rugged beauty of Acadia National Park, MDI Hospital is deeply woven into the fabric of island life. We're not just serving a community - we are the community.

A Place Where You Belong.

At MDI Hospital, every team member is more than a healthcare professional - they're a neighbor, a friend, a familiar face in the grocery store or on the hiking trail. We believe that healing happens best when people feel seen, supported, and valued. That's why we foster a workplace where everyone belongs, where voices are heard, and where your contributions truly matter.

Small Town Heart, Big Impact.

Though we serve a small, close-knit population, our reach is wide and our impact deep. We offer a full spectrum of care - from family medicine and behavioral health to emergency services and specialty care - all grounded in compassion and clinical excellence. Our partnerships with organizations like Penn Medicine and the MDI Biological Laboratory help us bring world-class resources to our rural setting.

A Culture of Connection.

We believe that wellness is a shared journey. Whether it's through community wellness programs, school-based health initiatives, or simply taking the time to listen, we're here to walk alongside our patients and each other. Our team is collaborative, mission-driven, and always ready to lend a hand - or an ear.

Come Grow With Us.

Working at MDI Hospital means being part of something bigger than yourself. It means joining a team that values your well-being, supports your growth, and celebrates your unique strengths. Whether you're new to the island or have called it home for years, you'll find a place here - not just to work, but to belong.
