BANGOR — Community Care Partnership of Maine proudly announces the appointment of Sandy Nesin, Esq. as its chief executive officer, effective as of Jan. 1. Nesin, the third CEO in the organization’s history, brings a wealth of healthcare operations and accountable care experience to the position.
Nesin first joined CCPM in 2018 as its chief operating officer, where she played a pivotal role in the organization’s growth and development.

In addition to her role as CCPM’s chief executive officer, Nesin will continue to serve in her role as vice president of operations at St. Joseph Healthcare, a community hospital in Bangor.
A graduate of the University of Maine School of Law, Nesin’s legal acumen and commitment to improving healthcare and access to healthcare for all have been evident throughout her career. Under her guidance as chief operating officer, CCPM achieved significant milestones, including seven consecutive years of success in the Medicare Shared Savings Program and the development of several centralized service lines designed to support healthcare organizations throughout the state.
Former CEO Mary Prybylo, who now serves as the organization’s chief research & innovation officer in addition to her role as president & CEO of St. Joseph Healthcare, expressed confidence in Nesin’s ability to lead CCPM into the future: “Sandy is a phenomenal leader with a strong vision that will guide CCPM’s continued success.
