Will the new health center provide emergency services?

One of the questions that is often asked about the proposed Boothbay Region Health Center is, “Will you provide emergency services?” The short answer to the question is, “No.”

When LincolnHealth closed the hospital at the St. Andrews Campus in Boothbay Harbor in October 2013, there was great concern about the loss of access to 24-hour emergency services on the Boothbay peninsula. People living in the Boothbay Region were and continue to be concerned about the long travel time to access emergency services in Damariscotta or Brunswick.

As a community we can:

1. Take local control of our primary health service.

2. Establish a patient-driven primary care practice model

3. Increase access and use primary health care services appropriately.

4. Make both individual and community-wide choices that will result in improved health status.

1. Get a higher percentage of the population into an ongoing relationship with a primary care provider.

2. Reduce perhaps by half the number of unnecessary Emergency Department and Urgent Care visits.

3. Achieve a demonstrable improvement in the health status of the community.
