This resolve directs the Department of Health and Human Services to provide emergency funding to cover operating losses associated with providing acute behavioral health care services provided by St. Mary's Regional Medical Center in Lewiston to ensure that those services can be continued and expanded to meet urgent needs in Androscoggin County and surrounding communities while avoiding curtailment of other critically important health care services in the region. The resolve appropriates $10,000,000 in fiscal year 2024-25 for that purpose. The resolve provides that funds must be disbursed by July
1, 2024.
