Pen Bay Medical Center opened a new 42,000-square-foot primary care health center this week on its Rockport campus.
The $16 million health center, which broke ground last year, was funded solely through a capital campaign called the Campaign for Coastal Health, according to a news release.
Philanthropic support included a $2 million gift from MaineHealth and a gift of $500,000 from the Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital. Major donations also came from local businesses, including the Allen Agency, Camden National Bank, CedarWorks, First National Bank, Horch Roofing, O’Hara Corp. and Viking Lumber.
Early foundation contributors included the Sunshine Lady Foundation, Libra Foundation, Davis Family Foundation, William Randolph Hearst Foundation and Fisher Foundation.
