The Way Healthcare Should Be
Boothbay Region Health Center is a community-based primary care health center serving the health care needs of people in the Boothbay region. Our team includes medical providers, nurses, and other health professionals who work together with patients and local health services to support whole-person care.
Boothbay Region Health Care, Inc. is a private, nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation established in 2015 in the State of Maine. It was created to provide health services for residents of the Boothbay region.
Boothbay Region Health Care, Inc. is governed by a community board of directors. The board follows a structure recommended for Federally Qualified Health Centers, where at least half of the board members are regular patients of the Health Center.
Employees of the Health Center, including doctors, nurses, professional staff, and managers, do not serve as voting members of the board. Medical providers and management may attend board meetings in an advisory role, but voting authority remains with the community board.
This structure is designed to support local, patient-centered governance and keep the Health Center accountable to the community it serves.

Comprehensive primary health care
Same-day access when available

No. Walk-in care is available only during regular office hours.
If you need help after hours, you can speak directly with an on-call provider who is familiar with your care and has access to your health records and treatment plan. Together, you can decide whether you need emergency care or whether the concern can be handled another way.
When appropriate, we may arrange follow-up care through telemedicine, at the Health Center, or in some cases, in your home.
If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911.
Please do not wait until the middle of the night if you are having symptoms or concerns during the day. We encourage patients to call early, ask questions, and work with our care team before a problem becomes more serious.
Good health is a partnership. We want patients to feel informed, supported, and comfortable reaching out when they need help.
BRHC’s walk-in care is fully connected to our primary care practice. It is not a separate or parallel service.
When you walk in during regular office hours, you will be seen by one of our primary care providers. You may not always see your own provider, but our team works together and has access to your records, history, and care plan.
New patients who use walk-in care can also be connected with our primary care system for ongoing support.
Yes. Boothbay Region Health Center accepts Medicare, MaineCare, and most commercial health insurance plans.
For uninsured patients who pay at the time of service, we offer the lowest fees we are legally allowed to charge.
