Waldo County General hospital is proud to offer specific topic related patient education materials. These materials are simular to the handouts that our patients receive while they are in the hospital. These are up-to-date and are created by members of our hospital staff. Some of the materials are developed in conjunction with many other hospitals around the state of Maine. As more materials are devloped we hope to expand this patient education list. Please feel free to use this handouts and contact your primary care provider with questions or concerns.
