For providing exceptional care and comfort during a difficult time, two Northern Light Home Care and Hospice nurses were recently recognized by a grateful family.

We are so grateful for these nurses' compassion, professionalism, and the difference they make every day for our patients and families.

With the first frigid blast of the season last week, Anthony Pastore, DO, chief medical officer for Northern Light Home Care and Hospice, shared cold safety tips with FOX ABC Maine.

"The cold weather can have particular impacts on a lot of chronic medical conditions as well as create some acute concerns that every adult should look out for, particularly those of advanced age," says Dr. Pastore, chief medical officer with Northern Light Home Care & Hospice. "I think more than anything, sometimes the winter can lead to social isolation and really just making sure that we're checking in on our loved ones, on our neighbors."

To our Ellsworth and Waterville teams, we appreciate your hard work and commitment to our patients - thank you!

For our patients and their families, we have hand-delivered Thanksgiving Meals for over 20 years. This past week, 🦃 🍽️Operation Turkey Meals for ME has been in full swing across our five locations to help those in our care have a brighter holiday! 205 patients and their families will enjoy a Thanksgiving meal hand-delivered by one of our clinicians. It is truly a privilege to care for our patients and their families. Thank you for entrusting us with your care.

Team members in South Portland began by coordinating lists, food shopping, organizing and packaging the meals, and then others drove the boxed meals on ice packs to our locations in Waterville, Brewer, and Ellsworth where clinicians could pick up the meals to hand-deliver to patients and their families. Our team in Presque Isle did the same.

Thank you to everyone who donated to our Thanksgiving Meal Program. We are grateful for the support. And to everyone involved in the coordination and ex*****on to make this special program happen - a heartful thank you!

If you are interested in helping support our ongoing Food Insecurity Program, please consider a donation at https://ow.ly/ggWq50XxPCE or by purchasing a food item off our wish list at https://ow.ly/1CK150XxPCC.
