Livermore Falls, Maine: We seek a Family Physician to join a hospital-owned primary care group in the beautiful foothills of western Maine. Experienced and newly trained doctors, MDs and DOs, are all encouraged to apply.

This growing practice is managed by a progressive, award-winning 40-bed acute care hospital in nearby Farmington that provides services to more than 40,000 area residents. This patient-centered organization is part of Maine’s largest healthcare system and ranked as one of America’s Best Large Employers for 2022. The 40+ member physician staff provides excellent colleague interaction and referral relationships. They are deeply invested in the wellbeing of the community, and their employees, with a work environment of commitment, compassionate caring, and continuous improvement.

In Livermore Falls, you will join a team of two Physician, two Nurse Practitioners and one Physician Assistant. Together, they collaborate on patient care in an attractive new Medical Arts building. Certified as a Patient-Centered Medical Home, this well-equipped setting features a fully integrated EMR and on-site blood work/lab services, plus a friendly, skilled support staff (RNs, MAs, and a superb practice manager). In addition to primary care, this site offers Dermatology, Orthopedics, Interventional Cardiology, Pulmonology and Behavioral Health.

Under a new model, physicians here are paired with an advanced practice provider, and together you offer a range of outpatient services for pediatric through geriatric patients, including nursing home visits. Typical services include physical exams, women’s health exams, sick visits, well-child visits, school and sports physicals, and the management of chronic health conditions. You may offer obstetrics, if desired. Teaching opportunities arise when medical students and residents from Portland and Boston rotate to the area. Enjoy a convenient 4 day/week schedule with phone-only call shared across several providers. A superb team of hospitalists cover admissions/inpatients.

You will earn a competitive salary along with benefits including relocation assistance, paid liability insurance, health and dental insurance, paid parental leave, plenty of paid time off, more paid leave plus a great budget for your CME, participation in a retirement plan – and generous assistance with your student loans too. This is a designated National Health Service Corps site.

Livermore Falls is a cozy community of 3000+ people nestled along the scenic Androscoggin River. Once known for farming, and later for paper production and manufacturing, the river was a convenient source of power. Now, the river is appreciated for its natural beauty – highlighted by its natural waterfalls. This friendly, family-oriented region supports many small businesses plus tourism / recreation. Take advantage of their terrific schools, and affordable real estate with homes available on or near scores of pristine lakes and streams, and in view of the lush mountains. This area offers breathtaking natural beauty – in a safe, welcoming community environment.

Residents enjoy nearly unlimited four-season outdoor recreation activities. Hike in scenic places like the pristine Rangeley lakes region and take in the panoramic views. Enjoy mountain and trail biking, a selection of challenging golf courses, hunting and fishing, rock climbing, and boating of all kinds – from kayaking to motorboating and waterskiing – and even whitewater rafting! In winter, try the local family-operated ski slopes (there are three within an hour’s drive) or visit Maine’s premier winter resorts – such as the world-class skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain. Maine winters are wonderful for snowmobiling, snowshoeing, and ice fishing too.

20 minutes north of Livermore Falls is the town of Farmington – site of the managing hospital. This popular college town sits in the scenic mountain foothills of west-central Maine – and is home to the branch of the University of Maine (a Top-20 public Liberal Arts college) that is famous as a school for teachers. Western Maine communities represent classic New England, with 19th Century brick storefronts housing appealing shops, home-style eateries, bookstores and more – surrounded by vintage Victorian homes – resulting in a quaint, serene ambiance.

Maine’s capital city, Augusta, is 45 minutes from Livermore Falls. Here you will find extensive shopping and dining, museums, a multiplex theatre, and a civic center hosting everything from concerts and sporting events to the circus. Portland and the International Jetport, the hopping clubs in the Old Port district, live music, art and culture, semi-pro sports, and numerous award winning restaurants, are 100 minutes south of Livermore Falls – and Boston can be reached in under three hours.
