Description
Houlton, Maine: We seek a cheerful Family Medicine Physician to join an established and financially secure rural health center (FQHC) with over 40 years of successful operation. This nonprofit organization runs practices in six towns (soon to be seven) providing primary care, urgent care, mental health, dentistry, podiatry, physical therapy and other healthcare services to thousands of patients across a large swath of northern Maine. POSITIONS ARE AVAILABLE IN THREE LOCATIONS. J1/H1b visa support is available. NHSC candidates are welcome. This is a rewarding outpatient-only practice where you will care for patients of all ages – many of whom are uninsured or underinsured – including some walk-in/urgent care. Your panel will be weighted toward geriatrics more than pediatrics. You will join physicians and NP/PAs in a modern facility with state-of-the-art technology, supported by an experienced team. Become part of a collaborative group focused on providing the best possible patient care. Join this Patient Centered Medical Home and have a measurable impact in the community. This position comes with a convenient weekday schedule with no nights, weekends or holidays. Call is shared by phone only. You will earn a competitive salary with benefits including a cash sign-on bonus, paid relocation assistance, federal liability insurance, health and dental coverage, disability and life insurance, and participation in a retirement plan with employer contributions after the first year. You will receive 3 weeks of paid vacation time (4 weeks starting year two) plus 10 paid holidays and another week of paid leave with an expense budget for your CME. You will be eligible to apply for tax-free NHSC student loan repayment. Come to Maine for an exceptional lifestyle! The acclaimed four-season environment has earned Maine the nickname “Vacationland.” Houlton sits on Maine’s eastern border with New Brunswick, Canada. The slow-paced town of Houlton appeals to many families seeking a friendly community and a wholesome lifestyle. Homes are affordable in town, or in a nearby country setting where acreage is available, and commutes are easy. Northern Maine offers a delightful range of outdoor recreation including camping, hiking, canoeing and fishing in warm seasons, and wintertime activities ranging from snowmobiling and ice fishing to cross country skiing and even dog sledding. Houlton is the seat of Aroostook County, the largest county east of the Mississippi. This is a region of farms and forests and rolling hills plus many lakes and streams. Numerous organic farms thrive here. Many Houlton residents enjoy visiting the city of Fredericton, New Brunswick – the provincial capital, with over 100,000 people – 75 miles east. Houlton is one hour south of Presque Isle, Maine (with a regional airport offering daily flights to/from Newark and DC), and two hours north of Bangor, Maine’s third largest city, with an international airport, shopping malls, dozens of restaurants and stores, riverfront concerts and festivals, and many more “big city” amenities. Portland is 3.5 hours away, and Quebec City is 5 hours from Houlton. Contact us today to learn more about this terrific new position!
