We are proud to share that Northern Maine Medical Center has been recognized by Becker’s Hospital Review as one of the nation’s top hospitals for nurse communication!

This recognition is based on patient feedback through the HCAHPS survey and reflects the compassionate, respectful, and attentive care our nursing team provides every single day. Patients reported that our nurses listened carefully, explained things clearly, and treated them with courtesy and kindness — the very foundation of exceptional patient care.

At NMMC, communication is more than conversation — it’s connection, comfort, advocacy, and healing. This achievement is a direct reflection of the dedication, professionalism, and heart shown by our incredible nurses and healthcare teams throughout our organization.

🦴 Osteoporosis Facts You Should Know
Osteoporosis is a common condition that causes bones to become weak and more likely to break — often without warning. Many people don’t realize they have osteoporosis until a fracture occurs, which is why awareness and prevention are so important.
Here are a few key facts:
• Osteoporosis affects millions of Americans, especially women over age 50
• Bone loss can happen silently over time with no symptoms
• A simple bone density test can help detect osteoporosis early
• Lifestyle habits like calcium and vitamin D intake, regular exercise, and avoiding smoking can help support bone health
Taking steps today can help protect your bones for the future. Talk with your healthcare provider about your risk and whether screening is right for you.
