Did you know that age-related macular degeneration is the leading cause of blindness in older Americans?

February is AMD/low vision awareness month, a time to shine light on the importance of vision health. AMD/low vision affects millions and impacts daily activities, such as reading and driving.

“Low vision is classified as impairment not able to be corrected by glasses or surgery. Age-related macular degeneration is a progressive disease impacting the retina, which causes central vision loss,” says Dr. Meredith Marcincin, DO, ophthalmologist at Northern Light Eye Care in Presque Isle.

That’s why it’s crucial to get yearly eye exams to detect these issues early. “Comprehensive eye exams, healthy diets rich in antioxidants and greens leafy vegetables, smoking cessation, and UV eye protection are crucial to help prevent and slow the progression of macular degeneration.” says Dr. Marcincin.

February is Black History Month, in which we reflect upon and honor the achievements and contributions of Black Americans who have shaped our country and inspire progress today. From Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass to Black pioneers in medicine like Dr. James McCune Smith (the first African American to earn a medical degree) and Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler (the first Black woman physician), their stories remind us of the courage and resilience that have moved us forward.

This month and always, we're called to do more than acknowledge history. We're called to elevate voices, create spaces for belonging, and ensure that our Black colleagues and patients are seen, heard, and valued. When we do this, our teams are stronger and our mission is clearer.

Black History Month is more than just a celebration. It's about a shared responsibility. It's a time to listen, learn, and grow. Each of us plays a role in contributing to positive change. Together, we can honor the past and continue to build a future rooted in justice, dignity, and respect for all.

If you ever needed a blood draw, Kristy Mclellan would be one of the people trying to make the experience as pleasant as possible. She's a phlebotomist for Northern Light Health. As we recognize Phlebotomist Appreciation Week, we asked Kristy a few questions to give you insight into being a phlebotomist.

What’s the best part about your job?
The best part of my job is meeting new people and seeing returning patients daily.

What is the most unexpected thing that you have ever experienced while doing your job?
The most unexpected thing that I have experienced is the hugs for putting the patient at ease, and making their blood draw a pleasant experience.

What kind of training do you need to do your job?
You only need a high school diploma and on the job training in Maine. However, I took an online course through The Academy of Medical Professions and did my clinical portion here in Sangerville. Then I took the NHA Phlebotomy Technician Certification Exam

What would you tell someone else who might be interested in becoming a phlebotomist?
If you enjoy meeting people and want a challenge every day, you might like being a phlebotomist.

We heard there's a football game on today! We asked our amazing employees to show us their best Patriots' gear, and this is what they brought to the game! Show us your Pat's pride and share a photo of you decked out for the game!

Remember to be safe while viewing the Super Bowl - refrain from throwing things at the TV, tackling your loved ones, or doing something that ends with you visiting us in the Emergency Room! We want to see you enjoy your Super Bowl Sunday from the comfort of your home, not one of our hospital beds!

Good luck to both teams this Super Bowl Sunday.

How cold it is outside your home today? Currently at Northern Light AR Gould in Presque Isle, wind chill values are -2! Brrrrr!

Just a reminder that if you are out this weekend, to dress in layers and limit your time outside, as frostbite can happen in less than 30 minutes.

Patriots and Seahawks fans, we know that this is a big weekend for you. If you are planning to go out, just be safe, and drink responsibility.

What an amazing day of seeing our staff wearing red to bring awareness to heart health, especially in women. We grabbed as many as we could, but there's just too much awesomeness to get everyone. Have photos from your Go Red for Women day? We'd love to see them, share in the comments. ❤️❤️❤️

Did you know that cardiovascular disease kills more women than all forms of cancer combined and yet only 44% of women recognize that cardiovascular disease is their greatest health threat. This is a great reminder to get in for your annual exams and have a discussion with your provider if something feels off.
