For Ann Bresnahan, of Hope, supporting her community is a family tradition.
Her father and mother, Arthur K. Watson and Ann H. Symington, generously contributed to the original construction of Pen Bay Medical Center, in Rockport, in the 1970s. Ann’s own commitment to PBMC began earlier: Almost 50 years ago, she volunteered as a candy striper.
Today, she serves as cochair of the Campaign for Coastal Health, a $21 million campaign that funded construction of the new Health Center at PBMC and will help support the expansion of the hospital’s Emergency Department, scheduled to begin early this summer.

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.

ROCKPORT Pen Bay Medical Center (PBMC) is celebrating the opening of a new 42,000-square-foot Health Center on its Rockport campus – and the opportunity it presents to expand and improve access to primary care in our coastal communities.
With additional precautions in place to ensure the safety of patients and care team members during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, PBMC welcomed the first patients into the new space in early December. The facility opened in earnest on December 14 with all offices seeing patients.
