Three patients recovering from the mass casualty incident of October 25 continue to be treated at Central Maine Medical Center (CMMC), part of Central Maine Healthcare.
One patient has been upgraded from critical to stable condition. All three patients are now in stable condition.
“We are grateful that these patients continue to improve and get well,” said John Alexander, chief medical officer, Central Maine Healthcare. “Meanwhile we want to encourage everyone to take some time to practice self-care. Whether it’s spending time with loved ones, taking a walk in the woods, or reading a book, it is very important that we do whatever we need as individuals to take care of ourselves.”
On the evening of the tragedy, Central Maine Medical Center assembled a team of more than a dozen surgeons with expertise in orthopedics, cardiovascular, thoracic, colorectal, plastic, urologic and general surgery. They were aided by more than 100 other physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and other healthcare professionals, all of whom received training in mass casualty incidents.
The doctors, nurses and team members of CMMC extend our deepest condolences to everyone affected by this tragic event.
