Did you know that lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States? There is a common misconception that you can tell if you have lung cancer, but in its early stages, when it’s most treatable, you may not notice anything different. That's why getting annual screenings is important.

Amy McClary, BSN, RN, patient navigator, Northern Light Lung Cancer Screening Program at Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center, explains what the program is and the criteria that must be met to qualify.

You may have heard of Movember or No shave November, but what does it REALLY mean?

It is a month where participants grow their hair to raise awareness for cancer prevention, research, and education, particularly around men's health issues like prostate and colon cancer and encourages men to open up and talk about these topics with the same dedication and passion as any of the women's health topics.

Be the hero for your own health!

In recognition of Recycling Week, we are highlighting our use (and reuse) of reprocessed medical devices!

At Northern Light Health facilities, we work with vendor partners to collect and reprocess several different device types after patient procedures.

So far in 2025, we have collected 12,205 devices, diverting 1,922 lbs. from the waste stream through reprocessing, and saved $89,972 through our purchase of reprocessed devices rather than new.

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to separate devices for reprocessing after patient procedures, and for purchasing reprocessed devices whenever possible. We are making a difference!

Important Update: Northern Light Health has reached a new agreement with Anthem for continued participation in their commercial and Medicare Advantage plans. This means patients with Anthem insurance can continue to access the Northern Light Health providers at in-network rates. This new agreement will be applied retroactively to November 1, 2025 so there is no disruption in patient care.
This new agreement allows patients to have the choice to remain with the Northern Light Health providers and facilities they know and trust. We will be reaching out to patients this week to let them know their in-network access will continue without interruption.

Our employees rock! Not only do they work hard every day within the halls of Northern Light Health, but then they do some amazing things outside of work!

Morgan refs field hockey in her spare time. There are so few people willing to be refs that without people like Morgan stepping up, our student athletes' games would be cancelled. She believes in being involved in the community where she lives, where her kids play sports, and where she takes care of patients.

Let's give a thumbs up 👍to our teams who care for the community inside and outside of our facilities!
