Houlton Regional Hospital is honored to be recognized by Becker’s Hospital Review as one of the top hospitals in the nation for nurse communication.

This recognition is especially meaningful because it comes directly from the voices of our patients. Through HCAHPS survey feedback, patients shared that our nursing staff communicates with compassion, listens with care, and provides clear, respectful support throughout their healthcare experience.

Every day, our nurses go above and beyond to provide not only excellent clinical care, but also comfort, reassurance, and understanding during some of life’s most important moments. This achievement reflects the dedication of our entire healthcare team and the strong relationships they build with patients and families across our region.

We are incredibly proud of our staff and grateful for the trust our community places in us each day. Congratulations to our amazing nursing team on this well-deserved recognition!

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.
