New Option in Radiation Treatment Begins at AR Gould Hospital
Northern Light AR Gould Hospital is proud to announce a new treatment option available for certain cancer patients. Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is an advanced, high-tech treatment option to add to the hospital’s arsenal against cancer.
AR Gould Hospital already provides the most comprehensive cancer care north of Bangor, and those services expanded when the hospital provided an SBRT treatment to its first patient last month on March 4. Receiving that treatment was Jerry Boulier of Fort Fairfield.

“It was great to have this treatment closer to home,” said Boulier, who underwent the same type of therapy in Bangor two years ago. “When I traveled to Bangor, I stayed with my son who took me to appointments. While it was great seeing him, I prefer being able to be home, especially during the winter months. I can deal with it better when I am able to go home after a treatment.”
