Jeff Brickman
CMMC Vision

Jeff Brickman will be the featured guest speaker of the Lewiston-Auburn Rotary Lunch Club on Thursday, September 5 from noon to 1 p.m. at The Village Inn, Auburn.  Brickman, CEO of Central Maine Healthcare, has spent 39 years as a healthcare and hospital executive, responsible for major expansions and turnarounds at five health systems across the country, from Massachusetts, to New Jersey, Illinois and Colorado. He came to CMH and Lewiston almost exactly three years ago in September, 2016. In that time Jeff and his team have experienced multiple successes in stabilizing the health system and are now looking forward to advancing CMH in its mission to provide top-quality, accessible, lower-cost care to Mainers.   Born in Malden, Mass. and a lifelong Red Sox fan, Jeff grew up in a medical family: both his father and grandfather were doctors and one of his earliest memories is of accompanying his grandfather, a family doctor, as he made house calls. While the second semester of organic chemistry convinced Jeff that he might not be the best fit for medical school, his family background and the desire to make a difference led him into the healthcare world anyway. Jeff graduated from the University of Connecticut and later earned his Master’s degree at Temple University. He and his wife, Elaine, a registered nurse, live in Freeport.   L-A Rotary meets every Thursday at The Village Inn, Auburn from noon to 1 p.m.  Lunch is available for $14. Guests and visiting Rotarians are always welcomed.  FMI visit for events and other club information are posted at www.lewistonauburnrotary.org and www.facebook.com/lewistonmainerotary/ or contact PR/Marketing Chair, Monica Millhime 713.7045, millhime@myfairpoint.net or Club President Celeste Yakawonis, 713.7111.
