Northern Light Mercy Hospital in Portland has received a $400,000 grant to support workforce development at the hospital and, in the process, help fund completion of Mercy’s campus consolidation.
The Portland-based John T. Gorman Foundation pledged the gift on a matching basis, providing $20 for every $100 raised in Mercy’s ongoing capital campaign, according to a news release Thursday.
The foundation funding will support +MPower, which provides training to New Mainers and others who face challenges entering or advancing in the workforce. The capital campaign supports the expansion of the 230-bed hospital’s campus at 175 Fore River Parkway and the move of services and operations there from an older, obsolete facility at 144 State St.
