Northern Light Health Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor is seen on Aug. 26, 2021. 

Maine's two largest health systems say they're unaffected by a nationwide shortage of IV fluids after Hurricane Helene forced the temporary closure of a manufacturing plant in North Carolina.

A spokesperson for Northern Light Health says it currently has a good supply and expects to receive the normal volume of IV fluids from its supplier.

MaineHealth says it uses a vendor for IV that was unaffected by Hurricane Helene.
