Houlton: We seek a skilled physician with an interest in Adult Medicine and Geriatrics for an interesting, blended practice. You will spend half your time in an outpatient primary care setting seeing ambulatory adults and seniors. The other half of your practice is in the role of Nursing Home Medical Director for two local facilities: one with 120 beds (residential, rehab and nursing) and one with 30 beds. Physicians trained in Internal Medicine, Family Medicine or Med/Peds are all encouraged to apply. MD/DO equally welcome here. Candidates with specific experience or Fellowship training in Geriatrics will receive priority attention.

This is a hospital-employed position offering your choice of a 4 or 5 day/week schedule (40 hours). Join the respected medical staff of an award-winning critical access hospital serving 18,000 residents in northeastern Maine. This is one of America’s Top Rural Hospitals, designated by the Leapfrog Group for exemplary performance across multiple safety and quality measures.

You will earn a very competitive salary plus benefits including a cash signing bonus, paid relocation assistance, paid liability insurance, and health, dental, vision and life insurance. Excellent incentive bonuses are available based on your productivity. You will enjoy 4 weeks of paid vacation time, two weeks of paid leave plus a budget for your CME, plus paid sick days and paid holidays too. Assistance with student loan debt is also available.

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. You will find a variety of homes here, in town, or with more acreage close by. 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, so amenities such as shopping and dining are plentiful. This is a region of farms and forests and rolling hills plus many lakes and streams. Numerous organic farms thrive here.

Many Houlton residents visit 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 small regional airport offering daily flights to/from Newark), and two hours north of Bangor, Maine’s third largest city, with an international airport, shopping malls, dozens of restaurants and stores, a casino/hotel, riverfront concerts and festivals, and many more “big city” amenities. Portland is 3.5 hours away, and Quebec City is 5 hours from Houlton.

New Hampshire:

Colebrook: We invite an experienced Primary Care Physician to join a new hospital-owned rural/country primary care practice in picturesque New Hampshire, near the White Mountain National Forest, and close to the Vermont and Canadian borders. Hospitals here pride themselves on a patient-centered culture delivering high-quality, accessible, integrated healthcare with courtesy and respect. Join the medical staff of a 16-bed critical access hospital with heart, and an atmosphere of neighbors helping neighbors, where the teams care deeply about the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of their patients, families and staff. Dedication is a theme here: Most hospital employees were born and raised in the region, and several staff members recently celebrating their 40th work anniversary with the system.

This is an old-school care model as we seek “the” doctor for the entire family in this small community. An ideal candidate will have been in practice for at least a few years and will have an interest in practice leadership. Specialty services are offered through the affiliate hospital and include everything from ENT/Allergy and OB/GYN through Neurology, Surgical Services and more. Join a respected organization named by Modern Healthcare as One of the Best Places to Work in 2020. We seek a physician who is prepared to make a long term commitment and provide stability and continuity for grateful area patients in this underserved community. You will help grow the practice, attracting patients from neighboring towns. While we want a family physician, a doctor with strengths and interests in adult/geriatric medicine is also welcome to provide care for this older panel. Enjoy a convenient weekday schedule with your choice of five shorter days or four longer days. Call is shared on a 1:4 basis. You will be supported by a friendly clinical/administrative team in the office, and involved leadership in the hospital. The IT system is excellent – with an integrated EMR boasting voice recognition/templates ready for your use.

You will earn a very competitive salary with bonus potential and benefits that include a cash starting bonus, paid relocation assistance, paid liability insurance, health and dental insurance, disability and life insurance, a generous amount of paid time off for holidays, vacations and personal time, paid leave plus a budget for your CME, and participation in a retirement plan. Student loan repayment is also available!

The town of Colebrook is a peaceful outdoor paradise in northern New Hampshire. Here, the cultural emphasis is on family, independence and hard work. This community of about 2200 has a historic downtown, and a history of agriculture and wood products. These days, tourism is a driving force as recreational vacationers are attracted to the four-season scenery and activities including unlimited trails for hiking or mountain biking, camping, kayaking and canoeing, horseback riding, golf, fishing and hunting, and snowmobiling and skiing (choose among several popular ski resorts). You will appreciate clean, friendly, small-town living in a region that attracts people who want a beautiful place to live, work and play. Local schools earn awards for quality and a high degree of parental involvement. Housing costs are reasonable, with many physicians purchasing homes with substantial amounts of land (10-100 acres) granting magnificent mountain views. New Hampshire is a financially attractive state with no sales tax and no income tax. Shopping and entertainment are limited locally, but available in nearby towns. Colebrook offers reasonable access to larger cities (2 ½ - 3 hours to Montreal, Canada; Manchester, NH; Portland, Maine; Burlington, Vermont; and Boston, MA).
