MRH COVID-19 Response
MRH is currently in “incident command” mode; meaning that all decisions and preparation are being coordinated daily by senior administration with input from department managers, medical staff, and outside agencies.
Information is rapidly changing, and we are working diligently to make the best decisions with the information provided to us by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the State of Maine.
We have an extensive plan we’re working through and implementing as necessary.
Please take the time to learn more about some of the actions we’ve taken to protect our community and prepare for COVID-19.

We’ve been hearing some buzz that some people in our community believe we are in the clear in terms of the coronavirus in the Katahdin Region. Unfortunately, this is simply not true.
While Maine is in kind of a steady state in terms of new COVID cases, the Katahdin Region is not. Our overall numbers are relatively low in the tri-town area, but they continue to rise by a couple of patients each day.
There are now between 10 and 15 confirmed positive COVID cases in the Katahdin Region.
This should be a wake-up call to the community. COVID-19 is here, and this is not the time to relax the pandemic guidelines. Rather, we need to ramp them up.
We must all be strongly committed to social distancing, mask use, hand washing, etc. If you have any signs of illness, please isolate yourself. These simple precautions will help protect us all.
Our goal is to keep everyone in our community healthy. We’ll do our part— but we need you to do yours.
Stay well. Be vigilant. We’ll get through this together!

Due to the COVID-19 precautions, we have temporarily changed the way we are seeing patients to optimize your safety. Anyone presenting to our facilities will be greeted at the door, you will be asked a series of questions and have your temperature checked prior to entering the offices.
Patients needing to be seen for a sick or acute visit will be scheduled at our Primary Care practice located at the lower Main Entrance of Millinocket Regional Hospital.
Patients needing to be scheduled for a routine visit, follow up appointment, physical or well-child exam, will be scheduled at our Family Medicine location at the top of Poplar Street.
We are going to try our best to keep you with your designated provider, however, we ask for your flexibility during this time.
If you would prefer to reschedule your visit, we will support you. However, we can also offer you a telephone visit.

If accompanying a patient that is being seen in our Emergency Department or one of our medical offices, we ask that you wait in your vehicle for your friend or family member.
