MATERNAL DELIVERY AND INFANT EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT PROJECT - CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING WILL STRENGTHEN AND SUPPORT MAINE'S BIRTHING HOSPITALS, WILL ENSURE THE AVAILABILITY OF NECESSARY EQUIPMENT IN RURAL REGIONS, AND WILL IMPROVE BIRTH AND DELIVERY HEALTHCARE FOR MOTHERS AND INFANTS. NORTHERN LIGHT HEALTH’S (NLH) BIRTHING HOSPITALS SERVE PREDOMINANTLY RURAL COMMUNITIES AND DELIVER OVER 2,800 BABIES PER YEAR. NORTHERN LIGHT HEALTH (NLH) WILL REPLACE AND UPGRADE CRITICAL MATERNAL DELIVERY AND NEW INFANT EQUIPMENT IN ITS HOSPITALS AND WITHIN ITS NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE UNIT. (NICU). NORTHERN LIGHT EASTERN MAINE MEDICAL CENTER’S (EMMC’S) NICU IN BANGOR, MAINE, SERVES MORE THAN HALF OF THE GEOGRAPHIC AREA OF THE STATE, AND IS THE ONLY NICU NORTH OF PORTLAND, ME. THE NICU HAS AN AVERAGE DAILY CENSUS OF 18 BABIES AND CARES FOR AN AVERAGE OF 450 CRITICALLY ILL BABIES PER YEAR, ALL OF WHOM REQUIRE SPECIALIZED EQUIPMENT TO REDUCE COSTLY LONG-TERM MORBIDITIES AND TRAGIC MORTALITIES. CPF/CDS FUNDING WILL BE USED TO REPLACE MATERNAL DELIVERY AND INFANT EQUIPMENT THAT IS AT END OF LIFE AND INSTALL NEEDED BIRTHING EQUIPMENT IN FIVE NORTHERN LIGHT HEALTH HOSPITALS. THIS PROJECT MEETS A VITAL NEED FOR MAINE COMMUNITIES AS ONGOING ECONOMIC PRESSURES, PARTICULARLY IN RURAL AREAS, HAVE RESULTED IN THE CLOSURE OF MANY BIRTHING UNITS. THIS HAS PLACED HIGHER DEMAND ON THE REMAINING BIRTHING HOSPITALS AND HAS INCREASED NEEDS AND RESPONSIBILITIES FOR NON-BIRTHING CENTERS. APPROPRIATE EQUIPMENT AND CARE CAN INCREASE SURVIVORSHIP, DECREASE MORBIDITIES, AND HAVE A SIGNIFICANT POSITIVE IMPACT FOR WOMEN, INFANTS, FAMILIES, AND COMMUNITIES.
