WATERVILLE — Maine Children’s Home has named Daniel Booth, MBA, interim executive director, effective Feb. 3. Booth previously served more than 12 years on MCH’s board of directors, including six as president, and spent more than a decade as vice president of operations at Northern Light Inland Hospital.
“Daniel Booth’s strategic leadership in this time of transition draws on his extensive operational leadership experience and his commitment to MCH’s mission to strengthen and support children and families across Maine,” said Steve Doyon, Andwell Health Partners chief technology officer and current MCH board president.
“I am honored and humbled to return to MCH right now to provide guidance,” said Booth. “After enjoying the first years of retirement following a career in healthcare leadership, and especially cherishing time as an active grandparent, I feel deeply called to provide continuity for this 127-year-old organization that means so much to me and to our community. My top priority is to support and empower our amazing staff to continue the great work they do every day caring for families, teens, and children across Maine.”
Booth’s appointment reinforces the organization’s commitment to stability and mission-driven leadership. As interim executive director, Booth will support staff and ensure families across Maine continue to receive high-quality, compassionate family-centered services while the board identifies a permanent executive director.
