Houlton Regional Hospital fully supports the philosophy that family visitation is important to the patient’s recovery and well-being, but due to the Pandemic our visitation remains limited.

Inpatients may have one designated visitor
Visits may occur anytime between 1:00pm and 6:00pm
Visitors must be at least 18 years of age
Visitors must gel hands, wear a mask, and be screened at the door for signs of illness
Visitors will be given a sticker with their name, the date, and room number they are authorized to visit.
Exceptions may be made for visitors of Comfort Care patients and LDRP patients.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we strive to keep HRH a safe place for all who need our services!

Houlton Regional Hospital CEO Shawn Anderson said, “What we’re doing is working. Social distancing, hand washing and hand gelling, and masking are clearly making a positive difference in the spread of coronavirus in Maine. Just because our spread is the lowest in the nation, isn’t cause to ease up on what we’re doing. Let’s keep up the momentum!”

There have not been any new Covid-19 cases identified in our service area since June 24^th.
