The Maine Health Care Association wishes to congratulate all the staff of the Maine Veterans Home- Bangor on receiving the AHCA/NCAL's Gold Excellence in Quality Award.

On October 12 at the AHCA/NCAL Convention in front of an audience of providers from all across the country, Maine Veteran's Home staff were recognized for their incredible work. They were one of two homes that were honored with this impressive award this year.
