Central Maine Healthcare continues to care for patients who were wounded in the mass shooting incidents that occurred in Lewiston on Oct. 25.
Of the three remaining patients, two are in critical condition. One has been upgraded to stable condition.
All but one of the 14 patients who initially survived the attack were transported to Central Maine Medical Center (CMMC). Three of those patients died at CMMC. One patient was transported to Mass General Hospital. The rest were discharged from CMMC.
On the evening of the tragedy, Central Maine Medical Center assembled a team of more than a dozen surgeons with expertise in orthopedics, cardiovascular, thoracic, colorectal, plastic, urologic and general surgery. They were aided by more than 100 other physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and other healthcare professionals, all of whom received training in mass casualty incidents.
The doctors, nurses and team members of CMMC extend our deepest condolences to everyone affected by this tragic event.
As part of our ongoing responsibility to continue serving as the regional trauma center for central Maine, we have established the CMMC Compassionate Care Fund for Trauma Response and Support. To donate, please click here.
