FORT KENT — A $13.6 million project at Maine’s northernmost hospital has modernized a facility that hasn’t seen major work in more than 70 years.
The recently completed four-story addition at Northern Maine Medical Center has two new operating rooms, a renovated laboratory, an activity area for children being treated in the behavioral health psychiatric unit, and a modern cafeteria. It also includes private elevators to transport patients from the emergency room or obstetrics to operating rooms, rather than using the public elevators.
