Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending - Construction - Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center (EMMC) 489 State Street, Bangor, ME 04401 Project Director: Christopher Laird Contact Phone Number: 207-973-8560 Email Address: claird@northernlight.org https://northernlighthealth.org/Eastern-Maine-Medical-Center Located at 489 State Street in Bangor, Maine, Eastern Maine Medical Center dba Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center (EMMC) is a not-for-profit, 411-bed healthcare facility. EMMC is a comprehensive referral center for more than 500,000 Maine residents, many of whom reside in rural communities located in the central, eastern, and northern two-thirds of the state. EMMC is one of only two health care facilities in the state equipped to provide advanced tertiary and quaternary care services – including a fully-equipped coronary care and cardiac surgery unit, two intensive care units (ICUs), neonatal and pediatric ICUs, a Joint Commission-certified primary stroke center, a 32-bed emergency department, and an ACS-certified Level II center/regional referral center. More than half of the hospitals in Maine rely upon EMMC to provide specialty services for their patient populations, including advanced ventilator care for life-threatening COVID-19 infections. The Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center Ventilator Project replaces EMMC’s aging and end of life inpatient ventilators within the critical care, intensive care and other high acuity care clinical areas throughout the hospital. Forty-two units will replace the prior fleet to meet the current and future needs of communities we serve. The total project cost is $1,198,000. EMMC’s CDS request is $1,198,000 to support the total equipment cost.
