BRIDGTON — Seth Rabinowitz, a nurse anesthetist at Bridgton Hospital, is this year’s winner of the Winnie R. Moore Award.

“Seth has been instrumental in advancing Bridgton Hospital’s surgical services,” said Bridgton Hospital President Stephany Jacques in a news release. “He collaborates closely with our nurses and provides a stabilizing presence for the entire team.”

The award was established to recognize clinical nursing excellence. Recipients exemplify qualities such as leadership, mentorship and commitment to caring for the Lakes Region. It’s named after Winnie Moore, who spent most of her career in Bridgton, working as a nurse at Northern Cumberland Memorial Hospital, which later became Bridgton Hospital. She was the director of nursing at Bridgton Hospital for 29 years and also served on the hospital’s board of directors.
