COVID-19 Vaccine Update
On January 13, 2021 Governor Mills announced state-wide plans to begin COVID-19 vaccinations for individuals who are 70 years of age and older as soon as February 1. At this time, we do not have a timeline or specific details as to when St. Joseph Hospital will receive vaccine from the Maine CDC to support vaccinating patients.
Make a Plan to Get Your Flu Shot
The combination of a severe, or even mild, flu season and the current pandemic could create complications for hospitals and healthcare facilities in the coming months and increase the risks of you or your loved ones getting sick. Although there is no vaccine for COVID-19, there is a flu vaccine. That is why it is important for most over the age of 6 months to get a flu shot.

Running: A Way to Show My Gratitude
On Sunday, September 6th, I completed the Boston Marathon in Bangor. I created my own start/finish line, my own race course, I had water stations, I had an aid station with my own medical team (my hubby!), and a cheering squad (my awesome neighbors). And, it was AMAZING! I thought about everyone who believed in me and who made donations to BCH. I thought about the healthcare team who saved Katie’s life and all the patient partners. I thought about how my simple act of lacing up has made such a profound difference in, not only my life, but in the lives of those who need BCH.
