Northern Light CA Dean Hospital’s Emergency Department is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to treat medical or trauma emergencies. Our experienced physicians and nurses are experts with emergency medicine and nursing care.
Our new, patient and family-friendly department has four patient rooms, including one that is designed to help behavioral health patients stay safe.
While we can handle most needs right at CA Dean, we’re well connected to larger hospitals for times when a higher level of care is required. Our teams consult with specialists on trauma care, behavioral health, and other services through Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center and the Northern Light Health Transfer Center. Our telestroke connection with Massachusetts General Hospital brings the expertise of a vascular neurologist to the bedside emergently when needs are identified. This service is available around the clock, every day of the year.
Emergency Medical Transport
Our Emergency Medical Services team is experienced at providing pre-hospital care throughout our region, including some of the most remote parts of Maine. Sometimes, our team works with other emergency personnel to respond by snowmobile or boat. Our team is small, resourceful, and committed to serving the community.
LifeFlight of Maine also serves the Moosehead Lake region. LifeFlight operates transport helicopters that provide advanced critical care while patients are being transported to larger hospitals. CA Dean hosts a LifeFlight helipad to facilitate safe and efficient transports.
