LEWISTON — Androscoggin Home Healthcare and Hospice has rebranded to Andwell Health Partners.

Founded in 1966, Andwell Health Partners started as a home health provider serving the Androscoggin County region. Over its decadeslong history, it has expanded to all 16 counties, with services that include in-home hospice care, Maine’s first inpatient hospice facility, the Maine Center for Palliative Medicine, and most recently, community and behavioral health, mobile wound care, in-home care giving, private-duty nursing, therapy care, and maternal and child health, according to a news release.

“As we continue to grow and evolve, we realized that the name Androscoggin Home Healthcare and Hospice no longer accurately reflected who we are, where we are going, and who we serve,” Andwell board Chairwoman Debra Fournier said. The new name better encompasses everything the organization does, she said.

“We’re now the largest independent, nonprofit, home and community-based health care organization in Maine,” Fournier said.

The word Andwell is an amalgamation of the organization’s history, mission and services: “And” honors the Androscoggin County roots, “well” celebrates the focus on health and wellness, and “dwell” highlights the care delivery system of in-home health, according to the release.
