New Ambulance Will Bring Better Care to Three Northern ME Towns

Nov. 21—An Aroostook County ambulance service is now able to provide better care thanks to a new ambulance worth more than $450,000 it purchased with federal grant funding. Central Aroostook Ambulance Service, which services the towns of Mars Hill, Blaine and Bridgewater, put the ambulance on the road late this summer. It’s taller, wider and longer than the other two ambulances in its fleet, and expands the equipment available to the relatively new ambulance service, which was founded in 2020.

Registered Nurses at Houlton Regional Hospital begin two-day strike

Houlton is lucky to even have a hospital given the lousy economy in this area ! If these RNs keep on complaining and going out on strike, then they could be traveling to a town that does have a hospital to work ! Houltons Hospital has had some tough financial times in the past several years ! I would think these nurses could figure that out and just work through the tough times and then ask for a raise ! 🤔
