We're bursting with pride for the nearly 120 MaineHealth care team members, family members, and even a few four-legged friends who participated in the American Foundation for Su***de Prevention- Maine Chapter Out of the Darkness Walks in Brunswick and Portland this September. 💜

From the inaugural Brunswick walk with Team Rise MaineHealth to Portland, where Team MaineHealth Beacon of Hope remained the largest team, our colleagues showed up with passion, purpose, and commitment. Not even a Nor'easter could stop them from continuing its six-year tradition of unwavering support for su***de awareness.

Thank you to everyone who walked, supported, and cheered for both teams. Together, we sent a powerful message across our communities: no one has to walk this journey alone. MaineHealth Mid Coast Hospital ***deawareness
