Northern Light Home Care and Hospice says it will be using space in the Maine Mall to set up another COVID-19 vaccination clinic.

On Monday, Northern Light Home Care and Hospice announced it would be working with Brookfield Properties, the company that manages the Maine Mall in South Portland, to create a clinic in the vacant space formerly occupied by Pier 1 Imports.

Northern Light Home Care and Hospice says it’s vaccinated close to 8,000 people, with most clinics taking place at their South Portland office, but says the Maine Mall location will allow them to vaccinate as many as 800 people a day.

“Not only is it vital to the community, but Brookfield Properties is committed to the effort as well as they are donating the use of the space. In addition, our friends at One Stop Rentals in Portland have donated the chairs and tables for the duration of the vaccine clinics,” said Colleen Hilton, president of Northern Light Homecare & Hospice.

The new clinic is set to be up and running on Wednesday for Mainers who are eligible for a shot under the state’s age-based vaccination plan.
