Well, I always wanted to come back to the US because I had originally done another degree in the US in Atlanta at Emory.</p> <p>I wanted to be closer to home, but still wanted that rural feel. I had a friend who was originally from Maine and said, "Why not come here?" I researched it and looked at it, loved it, came up to Mount Desert Island. Even though we're separated by several degrees of temperature, it reminded me a lot of The Bahamas. The island, the people, the water. I felt at home, and that is how I came to Maine."</p> <p>Her journey to the US and Bar Harbor is one of perseverance and hard work.

Dr. Stuart Davidson new Chief Medical Officer position at MDI Hospital | Season 2 Episode 1
<p>Dr. Stuart Davidson joins host, Justin Starbird, and new cohost Molly Moon to discuss his recent promotion, how he got to Maine, and his philosophy on practicing medicine. </p> <p>As Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Davidson envisions the role as a liaison between the medical staff and the hospital administrative staff. In his words, "The role here, continues to evolve... we're trying to, between the medical staff and the administration, ensure that patients receive the highest standard of medical care that they can. We're involved in safety issues and quality issues but also medical staff affairs, and also the development of the facility, all being different service lines as they can be further developed. We're developing more complicated electronic medical records, and trying to keep that all in line is a challenge. Basically, I think that the very chief role of this is just basically being a communicator."</p> <p>Kicking off this season, we also welcome Molly Moon as the new cohost to the "Island Health" podcast. She joins us with great enthusiasm and fresh ideas to make this the best year yet!</p>
