We said ‘See you again soon!’ (because it certainly isn’t goodbye!) to our two Tufts Medical students, Elizabeth (Ellie) Janitz and Lauren Weller, who have been working closely with our teams at Cary Medical Center and Pines Health Services since arriving in the County last May. These third-year medical students are participants in the Maine Track program, a partnership between rural health providers like Cary and Pines, Maine Medical Center in Portland, and Tufts University School of Medicine. For the past nine months, Ellie and Lauren have been working closely with our team and our patients to gain experience and insights into how quality medical care is provided to patients in the County. The goal of the Maine Track program is to inspire more doctors to practice medicine in rural Maine where they are greatly needed.

Pictured with Ellie (on the right) and Lauren (on the left) is Dr. Carl Flynn, the Caribou Site Longitudinal Integrated Clerkship Director. In wishing these students well as they continue with their studies, Dr. Flynn noted how engaged and committed these two students were during their time here, how integrated they had become in the community, and encouraged them to comeback anytime (especially once they graduate and are looking for a job!). Best of luck Ellie and Lauren with the rest of your studies!

Illnesses are more common this time of year, and newborns are especially vulnerable.

Jen Plante, RN, MC Primary Charge Nurse, shares a few friendly reminders to help keep newborns safe. Please remember: don't visit if you're sick, visits should be by invitation only, and never kiss someone else's baby.

Thank you for helping us protect our tiniest patients and support new families.

Cold weather isn't new, but it doesn't hurt to have some good reminders. Also, if you are looking for a warm place, the Caribou Rec and Caribou Public Library are good places to be to get a break from the cold. If you need immediate assistance please call 9-1-1 or call 2-1-1 for information.

❄️ Dangerously Cold Weather Safety Reminder ❄️
With extremely cold temperatures in our area, please take steps to stay safe and warm. Also our friends at Aroostook County Emergency Management and 211 Maine will have updated information and resources.
• Limit time outdoors and avoid unnecessary travel
• Dress in layers, including a hat, gloves, and insulated footwear
• Watch for signs of frostbite and hypothermia, such as numbness, shivering, confusion, or slurred speech
• Bring pets indoors and ensure livestock have shelter and water
• Use space heaters safely—keep them away from flammable items and never leave them unattended
• Keep emergency supplies on hand, including food, water, medications, and flashlights
If you must go outside, take frequent breaks to warm up and seek medical attention immediately if you suspect cold-related illness.
Please share to help keep our community safe.
