We are an independent, community health center, run BY PATIENTS FOR PATIENTS. We provide primary health care for people who live, work, and play on the Boothbay peninsula and surrounding islands. Since many local residents do not have health insurance, we provide the lowest fees we can charge legally for uninsured patients who pay at the time of service. We also accept Medicare, MaineCare and most commercial health insurance that our local residents and employees carry. For summer visitors, whose insurance we aren’t enrolled with, we ask that you pay at the time of service and then bill your insurance carrier with the documentation we’ll provide to you.
Our mission is to keep you well, and to help you become and stay healthy. We treat both acute conditions (colds, flu, sore throats, wounds, infections, allergies, urinary tract infections, etc.), as well as chronic conditions (diabetes, congestive heart failure, asthma, and so on. We also treat mental health in people of all ages, including children and teens. And we provide women’s health, reproductive health, and family planning for girls and women.
We specialize in diagnosing and helping with hard-to-treat conditions: Tick-borne Diseases, Alzheimer’s & Dementia, Mental Health, among others.
We believe that easy access to healthcare is important, since nobody plans to get sick or injured, so, although we are NOT an Urgent Care Center, we will do our best to see you the same day you call or come in, if you have a condition that needs treating right away.
We also offer Wellness programs. Currently we have two very popular Wellness Programs, which help participants make the lifestyle changes they need to make in order to improve their health & fitness:
- Fit, Flexible & Strong, a wellness program for seniors, which runs from October through May each year
- Reduce Cognitive Decline Research program which requires a year-long commitment and is now in its second year.
