St. Mary’s Health System welcomed a familiar face as Winfield ‘Win’ Brown, FACHE, returned to Lewiston-Auburn as president of St. Mary’s and senior vice president of Covenant Health. For Win, who previously served as executive director and vice president of the Sisters of Charity Foundation from 1996 to 2003, this homecoming marks a return to the community where he first demonstrated his commitment to mission-driven, high-quality healthcare.
During his earlier tenure at St. Mary’s, Win directed philanthropic efforts that expanded vital community programs and enhanced patient care. With over two decades of additional healthcare leadership experience, including his recent role as interim CEO of Mt. Ascutney Hospital & Health Center within Dartmouth Health, he brings proven expertise in building strong, caring communities through excellence in healthcare delivery.
“I am thrilled to be back home to St. Mary’s and the Lewiston-Auburn community,” says Win, whose deep local roots include five generations of family who attended Bates College. “This opportunity to return to serve the community we love is truly a dream come true.”
Win succeeds Cindy Segar-Miller, who established a strong foundation of financial sustainability during her 18-month interim presidency. In his role, Win will work alongside donors, community partners and medical staff to ensure everyone has access to the care and compassion they deserve.
A fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives, Win looks forward to building upon St. Mary’s legacy while strengthening behavioral health services and expanding access to primary care. His collaborative approach and deep understanding of both healthcare operations and philanthropic partnerships will help advance St. Mary’s mission of providing healing care for the whole person to all in our communities.
