ROCKPORT Pen Bay Medical Center (PBMC) is celebrating the opening of a new 42,000-square-foot Health Center on its Rockport campus – and the opportunity it presents to expand and improve access to primary care in our coastal communities.
With additional precautions in place to ensure the safety of patients and care team members during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, PBMC welcomed the first patients into the new space in early December. The facility opened in earnest on December 14 with all offices seeing patients.

There is hope on the horizon as we prepare to enter a new year with the COVID pandemic. Three vaccines have been proven safe and effective in numerous clinical trials and they are making their way through the approval process.
The State of Maine has been working on a distribution plan for some time, and MaineHealth has played a vital role in that process.
It appears that the vaccine will be given first to health care workers who have direct clinical contact with patients and those most at risk, including the elderly. This is likely to happen as early as mid-December.
