Visiting Hours
Visitors can be good medicine for patients. Family
members and friends are welcome to visit. However,
patient care is our primary concern at Maine Coast
Memorial Hospital, and, in order to enhance the
quality of care, specific visiting hours and
regulations have been established for each unit.
Visiting hours and regulations are available at the
information desk on each unit.
