Right here in Franklin County, MaineHealth Community Paramedicine is bringing quality care directly into patients' homes.

After a fall left Virginia Dahlgren managing her recovery alone in rural Franklin County, Advanced EMT Emily Hargreaves began visiting her every Wednesday, checking vitals, reviewing medications, and providing the trusted support that's helped Virginia regain her confidence and independence.

"It makes a difference every time they come," Virginia says. "They make me feel safe."

The MaineHealth Community Paramedicine program bridges gaps in access to care for rural and underserved communities across Maine. In just 56 days in 2024, the program provided over 300 in-home visits and prevented 92 emergency department visits—all while delivering compassionate, personalized care where it's needed most.

This innovative approach is proof of what's possible when health care meets patients where they are.

This holiday season, HCC provided 105 holiday food bags to families across Franklin County and surrounding towns, each one designed to support a nourishing, celebratory meal. Holiday food bags were distributed through the MaineHealth Food Pantry Farmington and included a whole roasting chicken, fresh ingredients, and holiday treats. Pantry staff provided healthy recipe demonstrations including roasted pears, garlic mashed potatoes, roasted beets, cranberry lime seltzer, and a squash bake, all designed to help families make the most of what they received.

Holiday food bags were made possible through the generosity of community donations to HCC. Extending the spirit of the holiday season, HCC was also able to offer 40 free Christmas trees to families, generously donated by a community member in northern Franklin County.

The MaineHealth Food Pantry is a year-round community resource, offering cooking classes and Food Is Medicine programs that support health and wellness. The pantry is open to community members, patients, and employees every Monday & Wednesday 10-2, and Friday 11-3. To learn more, please call 207-779-2928.

Congratulations to Emily, the recent recipient of the Good Catch Award here at Franklin Hospital!

The Good Catch program celebrates team members who notice and report situations that could have led to harm if they weren't caught in time.

Emily recently noticed two lab samples marked with the wrong priority, and she immediately jumped into action. Emily made sure the samples were given to the lab techs and processed right away. Thanks to her quick thinking, there was no delay in patient care.

Thank you, Emily, for your attention to detail and commitment to our patients!
