MC1 - Our Advanced Life Support Program
Go to our Emergency Medical Page
Did you know?
 Mid Coast Hospital's Advanced Life Support Program began in 1997.
The program provides paramedic support to area community and
volunteer rescue teams who request it, 24/7.
MC1's service area is Wiscasset to Freeport and includes
Georgetown and Harpswell, Orr's, Bailey, and Cundy's islands.
The program operates MC1, a licenced emergency vehicle.
When responding to a call, MC1 has the same Code 3 privileges as
an ambulance, fire truck, or police car.
MC1 is NOT an ambulance; it does not transport patients.
MC1 and its paramedic staff create a "virtual emergency room"
at the scene of an accident or other medical emergency.
MC1 responds to an average of five calls a week, but is much
busier in summer.
During the day, MC1 roams the Bath-Brunswick area, ready for any
emergency.
In case of life-threatening emergencies, such as chest pain or shortness
of breath, please call 911 for your nearest local Emergency Medical
Services (EMS). If you have any question about the severity of an
emergency, call 911. EMS teams can save lives in critical situations.
