Northern Light CA Dean Hospital is preserving healthcare in Maine’s Moosehead Lake Region for the future by building a new main hospital building and ambulance station, renovating the existing East Wing, and demolishing older space, some of which is more than a century old. The new hospital and ambulance building will be named after the Buck Family in honor of Dr. Peter Buck’s generous donations to the Preserving the Promise Capital Campaign.

Our Plans

The new CA Dean Hospital has been designed to make healthcare work for you, offering core healthcare services provided in a modern facility focused on patient comfort and privacy, including:

  • A new, 11,550 square foot hospital building
  • Five “flex care” rooms and 10-bed unit for skilled nursing care patients. All private rooms.
  • A 24/7 emergency department.
  • Imaging and lab services.
  • A new, separate ambulance station and FAA-approved helipad.
  • Expanded parking areas and circular driveway for convenient and safe patient drop-off and pickup.
