Northern Light Inland Hospital and its associated clinical services in Waterville, Maine, will officially close May 27, marking the end of operations for the facility that has been gradually winding down since the closure was announced earlier this year.
The hospital’s emergency department will stop accepting new patients at 12 p.m. on May 27. All remaining clinical services will cease at 5 p.m. the same day, the health system said in a May 22 news release.
While the hospital is closing, several affiliated practices will remain operational to serve patients in the community:

- Northern Light Walk-In Care, Waterville — Integrated into Northern Light Mercy Hospital.
- Northern Light Primary Care, Madison — Continuing as a practice of Redington-Fairview General Hospital.
