Houlton Regional Hospital Announces Contingency Plans in Response to Potential Nurses’ Strike

HOULTON, ME – Houlton Regional Hospital (HRH) has received a formal ten-day notice from the nurses’ union of their intent to strike beginning Tuesday, November 18, 2025, at 6:45 a.m., and concluding Thursday, November 20, 2025, at 6:44 a.m.

In the last five months, since the Management Services Agreement (MSA) was signed with Northern Maine Medical Center, there has been significant work completed related to increasing access and stabilizing finances. Houlton Regional Hospital employees are among the lowest paid in the county and the new administration heard this from many employees voicing their concerns regarding wages. Given the employees’ concerns and market data, administration at HRH has begun the process of increasing wages to market levels and improving benefits for all employees, including offering the nurses significantly higher increases than the union had originally requested.

Additionally, in a national healthcare crisis where hospitals are closing at an alarming rate and services are being eliminated, both Houlton Regional Hospital and Northern Maine Medical Center have rebounded and have been expanding, hiring more employees and adding new services. Houlton Regional Hospital has recently added several service lines, including Outpatient Behavioral Health, Orthopedics, Cardiology, Urology, Pain Management, and has enhanced Primary Care by adding on two new providers. This is a direct response to the needs of Houlton and surrounding communities.

“Given the excitement expressed by our communities and patients, for our expanded services and focus on our employees, we are disappointed that the bargaining unit registered nurses have chosen to strike and step away from their patients,” said Jeff Zewe, Chief Executive Officer of Houlton Regional Hospital. “We have been meeting regularly with the nurses’ representatives and have made a fair and competitive offer that includes a substantial wage increase over the duration of the contract, along with enhancements to employee benefits.”

Houlton Regional Hospital has a comprehensive contingency plan ensuring minimal to no disruption in services. The hospital will continue to be open and operational to care for our patients. Despite the nurse’s choice to walk away and going on strike, HRH will continue to put patients and community members first.

Houlton Regional Hospital continues to be committed to bargaining in good faith and finalizing a contract that supports both staff and patients.

“Despite the union’s decision to strike, our focus remains on our patients and our community,” said Jeff Zewe, CEO of HRH. “I want to reassure everyone that our staffing levels meet or exceed national safety standards, as reflected in our strong quality outcomes.”
