To the Editor:
I support approval of the pending Certificate of Need application for Parkview Hospital to join Central Maine Healthcare.
I am president of the Central Maine Medical Center College of Nursing and Health Professions in Lewiston. The college has been sending freshmen nursing students to Parkview for a clinical rotation for several years. The positive influence of CMHC is reflected in the quality of all departments there.
We are fortunate indeed to offer our students an excellent experience in a high quality hospital.
I look forward to continuing working with Parkview to provide our students the unique opportunity that Parkview offers.
