Eastport Healthcare

Eastport Health Care aspires to meet a full spectrum of health needs in rural Maine with innovative, affordable treatment. Leading through listening, learning through partnership, and serving through collaboration make us agents of change for better health outcomes in Washington County. Proper healthcare has been an integral part of the lives of our nation's people.

EHC was founded in 1978, through the efforts of Dr. James Bates, who, along with Rowland French, were the city's two practicing physicians. They foresaw the need to attract younger doctors to the area and were aware of the doctor and dentist placement program sponsored by the National Health Service Corps, which is a part of the US Public Health Service.

Appointments are preferred. Please call during regular hours. Every effort is made to see you at the time of your appointment, but patients with special or urgent problems must take precedence. Walk-in patients will be seen when free time allows, or after those with appointments have been seen. All patients must report to the receptionist upon arrival for each visit to assure you will be seen as scheduled.

I'm very pleased to serve as Eastport Health Care's Chief Executive Officer. My career is in the community health center world and I'm committed to the inclusive and comprehensive model that provides access to a menu of basic health care services. I'm impressed with the EHC team of engaged employees who want to provide excellent care to patients and who are open and communicative about our work together.
