Masks will be available for all, and required in areas and circumstances where appropriate under health care protocols

Project DHARMA is a collaboration between AOAÌåÓýƽ̨ and several other organizations across the state to prevent overdoses and infections through harm reduction programs.

Videographer Charlie Berg won in the category of health/medical-short form content for the story entitled, ‘Inside View of Maine Medical Center ICU Nurses Caring for Unvaccinated COVID-19 Patients.�

The health care system is using the latest science to set standards for return to work protocols for care team members who contract COVID-19.

Long term trends in the labor market and a surge in demand are making it hard for health care organizations to meet a growing demand for care.

As AOAÌåÓýƽ̨ seeks to limit the spread of COVID-19, vaccination will be a requirement for employment, with very few exceptions, as of Oct. 1, 2021.

In addition to a base wage increase for nearly all employees, the minimum pay rate across the health system will rise from $14 to $17 an hour, and market adjustments will be made for hard-to-fill roles.

New scheduling options are being created in response to shifts in the supply and demand for COVID-19 vaccines in Maine.

Those seeking a vaccination will be able to schedule an appointment at the time they register online, and some locations plan to offer a walk-in option as well.

Polly will help set the course for AOAÌåÓýƽ̨’s journey to a more inclusive and equitable culture.
