We are inheritors of the rebellious, independent (perhaps obstreperous) nature of the Scots-Irish settlers in the Boothbay region. Like them, we intend to assert control over that which is rightfully ours and to establish a new health care system under local governance to serve the needs of the people of the Boothbay Region with a collaborative health care team of physicians, nurses, and allied health professionals working in partnership with our patients and other community health services to provide comprehensive primary care, a patient compass program, community health education, mental health, behavioral health and substance abuse services, and dental care. We are proud to go into the fight under the colors of the Scots and the cross of St. Andrew against a large and influential opponent from outside.
