Our Purpose, Values, Mission & Vision

Our name – Acadia – is rooted from the dawn that rises over Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park. Like the first sunrise in the nation that touches the sky, we shift darkness into something brighter. And promise a new day.
This daybreak was the breakthrough of our refreshed purpose: to Lead Care with Light

When people in need bravely ask for assistance in carrying the weights of their personal worlds, they can turn to Acadia. 


Here, we illuminate paths to health with hope. And we are honored to serve alongside passionate people who imbue promise in the work we do and the lives we touch. The lives of our patients, their families and friends, our broader communities, and one another. 


As a connected community of specialized whole-person care, we uphold our values and dedicate ourselves to helping people survive and thrive. All ages, all cultures, and all seeking mental and behavioral wellness can find refuge and relief at Acadia. We collaborate across the continuum of care and move as one to guide the progress and potential of hope. As we continue to move, Acadia continues to grow—in skills, talent, and national facility access. Because everyone deserves the opportunity to choose and act on hope.
