The College was established in 1891 as a diploma granting institution, and named the Central Maine General Hospital Training School. The first student was admitted on July 9, 1891. The school granted diplomas until 1977, when Governor James B. Longley signed into law, L.D. 446, granting the school authority to award the Associate in Applied Science in Nursing Degree.
In 1976, the school name was changed to Central Maine Medical Center School of Nursing and became the first single entity post-secondary nursing educational institution to become accredited by the Commission on Vocational, Technical, Career Institutions of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, Inc. in 1978.
In 1995, the school moved from Wilson Hall to the Metcalfe Building, and then to its current location at 70 Middle Street in 2001. In June 2007, the school was renamed the Central Maine Medical Center College of Nursing and Health Professions. The College was granted initial accreditation by the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges.
In 2010, the College added an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Radiologic Technology. Coinciding with the addition of the Associate of Applied Science Degree in Radiologic Technology, the Mercy Hospital School of Radiologic Technology in Portland transitioned its two-year certificate program into the College. This doubled the student capacity of the Radiologic Technology program. Also in January 2010, the college admitted its first students in the Computed Tomography (CT) certificate program and in 2011, the College added an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Nuclear Medicine Technology.
On July 1, 2014, the name of the College was changed to the Maine College of Health Professions to better reflect the mission and strategic vision of the College.
In the fall of 2017, the College received approval to offer an RN to BSN degree, thereby becoming a baccalaureate institution.
