I recently spent a few days at Mid Coast and a few nurses were so very helpful. |

We had just moved to Maine from Massachusetts the week before when my son stepped on a nail. He had no health insurance but we had to bring him to Emergency (he needed a tetanus shot). Having gone to Emergency Rooms in Mass. we knew (so we thought) that it would be at least a 4 hour ordeal. (One time I was there in Mass. 8 hours as was my son another time.) |

The past month I have had many new (for me) tests and experiences at Mid Coast Hospital. Everyone was kind, considerate, personable and compassionate. |
