FEMA EMTs arrive at Central Maine Healthcare to help with patient load

EMTs Dan Hunt, from Texas, and Erin Stant, from Ohio, arrived at Central Maine Medical Center Dec. 28. CMMC was one of eight hospitals in Maine to welcome ambulance teams through the Federal Emergency Management Agency to help hospitals that are having staffing issues because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The crew will help by transporting patients between health care sites, opening up beds for other patients. They can also support hospital emergency departments.
