COVID Chronicle June 2021

WHAT WE LEARNED

“The COVID-19 pandemic has reinforced the fact that rural hospitals are vital to the communities they serve which is why Northern Light Health is planning major upgrades for two century-old hospital buildings in Hancock and Piscataquis counties. The new facilities will include telehealth services, 24/7 emergency care, and lab and imaging services.” News Center Maine “Northern Light has turned Bangor’s Cross Center into a well-oiled vaccination machine.” David Marino, Jr. Bangor Daily News

“I want to once more thank the Northern Light Health organization for the work they are doing not just at the Cross Center but at numerous vaccine clinic locations across the state.” Tim Forsman Fairfield
