The last of the 13 patients that arrived at Central Maine Medical Center after the mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine has been released from the hospital.
As it has become tradition, the person was released with CMMC employees applauding their exit during their sendoff.
The patient now prepares to continue his recovery at home, just before Christmas.
“This is an early Christmas present, not just for the patient and his family, but for all of us at Central Maine Healthcare,” said Steve Littleson, president and CEO.
