Mission Statement
Andwell Health Partners is an organization about living, dedicated to enhancing quality of life by providing innovative, compassionate health care for all.
Description
Andwell Health Partners volunteer program is widely recognized as one of the most extensive, non-profit home health care volunteer programs in Maine. We are fortunate to have dedicated volunteers, many of whom have been personally touched by what we do, assist in a variety of ways.
Over the years, we’ve heard many reasons why our volunteers choose to be involved with our organization. By far the most common answer is that after experiencing our services first hand, they want to give back to our organization.
Whether you want to give back, if it’s your nature to help others, or you’re looking to be involved with a great organization - we’re happy to have you join us in enhancing quality of life for the patients we serve.
