Testimonials.

Morgan M.
MSN, RN,

Lois is truly fantastic at not only what she does but also who she is as a person. Her experience in healthcare and leadership lend her a great wealth of wisdom and knowledge which I have been fortunate enough to experience. Lois is an effective leader and does so without compromising her values of integrity, empathy, honesty, and kindness. Learning from and being mentored by her has hands down made me the professional I am today and for that I’m extremely grateful.

Earlier this year, we were fortunate to have Lois facilitate a retreat among our board and staff designed to reflect on a recent organizational merger and to plan for the future.  Lois truly put her head and heart into planning for the event, and her wisdom, experience and humility made for a very successful delivery.  We all came away well-focused on key take away messages and the day cultivated many sprouts that continue to strengthen our organization to this day. 

Since July 2011, when Skillings [became] CEO and president, Mid Coast Hospital has consistently earned straight As for patient safety (the highest score possible) in the Leapfrog Group's twice-a-year national and state rankings. It also has earned the gold seal of approval from the Joint Commission, an independent nonprofit that has been evaluating hospitals for safety and quality of care for more than 50 years, after being named one of 11 “Top Performer” Maine hospitals by the commission in 2012. And, in its most recent recognition, U.S. News & World Report recognized Mid Coast Hospital in July as a “Best Regional Hospital” for 2015-16 — making it one of 137 hospitals nationwide and just two in Maine (the other being Maine Medical Center in Portland) recognized in the magazine's 26th annual “best hospitals” list.
