| Maine continues to move in a positive trend with decreased COVID-19 hospitalizations and incidence in our communities. The number of inpatients at Mid Coast Hospital is dramatically lower when compared with recent months, and hospitalizations throughout the state are down significantly since the late fall surge. We are grateful for our ongoing partnership with the Town of Brunswick to use the Brunswick Parks & Recreation facility for a large-scale regional vaccination clinic, as well as the many staff and volunteers who have worked tirelessly toward this cause. | | | |
| The Mid Coast Medical Group–Topsham Lab Service Center is closed today. We apologize for the inconvenience. Unless you have an urgent laboratory need, we ask that you return to the Topsham location during normal business hours on another day. | | | |
| Due to the forecasted poor weather, for the safety and wellbeing of our patients, please note that Mid Coast Hospital is cancelling the Mid COVID-19 Testing Site on Tuesday, March 2. We will be emailing and calling individuals who had an appointment scheduled for testing and rescheduling them for later in the week. | | | |
| The state of Maine announced today a change in COVID-19 vaccine eligibility. Beginning March 3, 2021, Maine residents aged 60 and above will be eligible for vaccination. As this next phase opens up, Mid Coast Hospital will prioritize Maine residents 70 and older who have already pre-registered, and will also begin scheduling vaccination appointments for residents 60 and over within the coming week. | | | |
| Mid Coast Hospital is warning the community about a phone scam targeting community members. Scammers are calling patients and disguising themselves as Mid Coast Hospital. Please also be aware that scammers might take ongoing COVID-19 vaccination efforts as an opportunity to approach community members. | | | |
| Mid Coast Hospital is excited that we are now able to offer COVID-19 vaccination to eligible people in our community! With the Maine CDC’s recent guidance to expand COVID-19 vaccination eligibility to people over 70 years of age, we have opened a large-scale regional vaccination clinic at Brunswick Parks & Recreation. Vaccination will be accessible to all community members who meet the Maine CDC’s current criteria. | | | |
| Applications are now open for the Herb Paris Health Career Scholarship, available to high school students and non-traditional students in our local area who are interested in pursuing a career in healthcare. The scholarship program sponsors Midcoast area students attending college, technical colleges, or other technical training. Each year the Mid Coast Hospital Auxiliary awards approximately $40,000 in Herb Paris Health Career Scholarships to deserving students. | | | |

Recently, my husband and my sister have been under the care of the nurses, doctors, and other ancillary providers at Mid Coast Hospital. As a retired medical professional, I want to share how impressed I am, as they, with the loving kindness we have been surrounded by during the past few months. |

We received incredible care from the time we walked into the Emergency Department until she was delivered to the curb to go home. |

I'm ecstatic that I'll be 78 and I'm still doing what I like. |

Knee replacement brought my life back. I have no idea where I'd be today if I hadn't done it. |
