Knowing better leads to doing better, and our Community Outreach Team is making it happen!

Last week, the team joined Foxcroft Academy in hosting Grace Davis from Johnny's Ambassadors. Grace, who speaks at schools across the country, shared her experience with substance use and talked to us about her friend Johnny Stack, who tragically lost his life at age 19.

Thank you to members of the Dexter Regional High School Positive Action Team who participated in Grace's presentation, and to the Dexter ninth graders who attended. And thanks, Grace, for sharing your story!

“When you have cancer, you’re tired all the time, and you don’t want to go shopping. This saves me a whole bunch of trouble.”

That's what one patient told us earlier today when we distributed food baskets to 21 oncology patients and families. It's become an annual tradition that makes all the difference to our patients during the holiday season.

We're thankful to Kate Desmarais from our Community Outreach Team for organizing the distribution, the Christine B. Foundation for providing the produce, Eli's Market for assembling and delivering the baskets, the Positive Action Team at Ridge View Community School for signing the cards, and everyone who participated in Walk for Hope for helping to fund the baskets. Thank you so much!

Cheers to Liz Myatt, a CNA in our Ambulatory Surgery Center, for being a patient safety champion!

Patients’ wellbeing goes beyond the care provided in the hospital—it extends to safely transitioning from hospital to home. Recently, Liz went above and beyond to help a patient return home safely and confidently.

For her great work, Liz was recently presented with a Patient Safety Award. Great job, Liz!

We ❤️to recognize staff who do incredible things to keep our patients safe!

When a patient started to have a medical emergency, Andrew Lange, CNA, jumped into action and immediately helped the patient with the issue. Thanks to Andrew's response, the patient ended up being okay.

According to Andrew, he was just doing what he was trained to do. But for this patient, his quick response meant everything. For his good work, Andrew was recently presented with a Patient Safety Award. Great job, Andrew! 🌟✨

Breastfeeding during winter offers important immune protection for babies, especially during cold and flu season.

💧 Stay hydrated and nourished — warm drinks and hearty meals can support milk supply.
💤 Rest when you can (even short breaks make a difference).
🤱 Reaching out for breastfeeding support is a sign of strength — you don’t have to navigate this season alone.

💙💙💙Did you know that our hospital has been caring for the community for nearly 90 years?

When Col. Mayo died in 1935, he willed his home on West Main for use as a hospital. He bequeathed $10,000 for free beds, and free surgical and medical treatment for needy patients in town, and also designated one-fourth of his estate for the support and maintenance of the hospital. The Mayo family homestead was converted to a hospital in 1936.

Cold weather and early sunsets can make movement tough, but staying active is one of the best ways to support your health this winter.

🏃‍♀️ Even 10–15 minutes of walking, stretching, or indoor movement can boost energy and mood.
🧤 Bundle up and get outside when you can — a quick walk in the fresh winter air can make a big difference.
💪 Small steps add up and help you feel your best through the holiday season.

Let’s keep moving this winter! ❄️💙

Together, We’re Better

At Northern Light Health, we’re building a better approach to healthcare because we believe people deserve access to care that works for them. As an integrated health delivery system serving Maine, we’re raising the bar with no-nonsense solutions that are leading the way to a healthier future for our state. Our more than 12,000 team members are committed to making healthcare work for you: our patients, communities, and employees. Located in the scenic Maine Highlands Region, Northern Light Mayo Hospital provides advanced medical services to more than 26,000 residents in Piscataquis and adjacent Penobscot and Somerset counties. We’re a 25 bed, non-profit, critical access hospital staffed with great nursing and clinical support and a team of primary care physicians and specialists including hospital-based inpatient physicians that provide coverage 24/7 (hospitalists), Family Practice, Ear, Nose & Throat, Internal Medicine, OBGYN, Pediatrics, Urology, General Surgery, Orthopedic Surgery, Psychiatry and Cardiology. Our Emergency Department handled over 12,000 visits last year and our ambulances & EMS responders bring the face of Mayo out into the community often when least expected but urgently needed.

Our core mission has always been to provide high-quality, compassionate health care to those who live and work in our communities. To further this mission, Mayo has outpatient clinics in the towns of Corinth, Dexter, Dover-Foxcroft, Guilford, and Milo.

Dover-Foxcroft, the county seat of Piscataquis County, has a population of 4,200 and is located 38 miles northwest of Bangor. Mayo Regional opened in 1978 and is governed by representatives of the 13 towns in Hospital Administrative District 4.
