Dr. Edward H. Hill (1844-1904) was a physician from Lewiston, Maine who founded Central Maine Medical Center.[1]
He was born in Harrison, Maine in 1844 and attended Bridgton Academy, Bates College (1863) (then called the Maine State Seminary) and Harvard Medical School (1867). After initially starting to practice in Durham, Maine, he shortly moved to Lewiston where he became a partner of Dr. Alonzo Garcelon, the future governor and developed an active surgery practice. Seeing a need for an emergency room in the Lewiston and Auburn area, in 1871 Hill published an article advocating for a public hospital. After the city failed to act for several several years, Hill purchased a house and land for a hospital and the legislature finally provided support, thereby founding Central Maine Hospital (later renamed Central Maine Medical Center). Hill was an active member of the Maine Medical Society where he presented a well known paper on “Perineal Urethrotomy” in 1885. After severe suffering from arthritis for over a decade, he died in 1904. In 1872 Hill married Charlotte C. Thompson and had two children.[2]
