Lee, Maine: We seek an experienced Family Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant to join an established nonprofit in a picturesque rural community just minutes east of Lincoln and one hour north of Bangor. This award-winning Federally Qualified Health Center employs more than 100 professionals who serve 24,000 residents across 19 towns, providing family medical care, walk-in care, behavioral health, substance use disorder treatment, dental care, and school-based health in five modern facilities. A sliding fee scale ensures that underserved patients have access to essential services.

You will practice in the organization’s satellite clinic in the village of Lee, serving as the sole provider in a renovated historic home on the campus of Lee Academy, one of Maine’s oldest private high schools. Founded in the mid-19th century, Lee Academy is known for its academic excellence and welcoming, international student body. The clinic retains its original exterior and period character while offering a warm, functional, and efficient medical space. Your on-site support team includes a site coordinator/medical assistant, an additional medical assistant, and a receptionist, with a floating RN Care Coordinator rotating in as needed.

This organization prioritizes the needs of today’s providers, offering an upbeat and collegial environment, a four-day workweek, generous paid time off, and a moderate daily volume of about 16 patients – allowing for quality, unrushed care. You will treat patients of all ages in an outpatient setting, with no nights, weekends, or holidays. For those interested, teaching and precepting opportunities are also available.

Candidates with interests in Addiction Medicine/Suboxone Certification are encouraged to apply. APPs with a particular interest in Women’s Health, including performing colposcopies, will receive priority consideration.

You will earn a competitive salary plus a cash sign-on bonus and benefits including relocation assistance, fully paid family health insurance, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance, 234 hours of paid time off (vacations, holidays, sick leave), 50 hours of paid CME time with an expense budget, participation in a 401k program, FTCA (federal tort claims act) liability insurance, and student loan repayment.

Maine is the #2 State for Best Quality of Life, #3 Safest State in the USA, and #1 for Air Quality. This is a fabulous place to practice and to raise a family, in a state known as “Vacationland” for good reason. Here, your downtime can be as active or as relaxing as you choose – from sailing along a rugged coastline dotted with lighthouses, to hiking and cycling through rolling, scenic trails, to teeing off on exceptional golf courses or spending winter weekends on pristine ski slopes. Every season brings its own beauty, and every day offers the chance to enjoy it.

Lee is a small, rural village with an undeniable charm, surrounded by lakes, forests, and hills. A thousand residents enjoy the close-knit feel of the community while benefitting from quick access to Lincoln – the Home of 13 Lakes – with its larger selection of shops, restaurants, and services. This region is a hub for outdoor recreation, with hundreds of miles of groomed trails for snowmobiles and ATVs. Enjoy boating, camping, hiking, hunting and fishing, or winter adventures like cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and ice fishing. One hour north is Baxter State Park, home to 200,000 acres of wilderness and Mount Katahdin, Maine’s tallest peak.

Bangor, Maine’s third largest city, is home to over 100,000 people (median age just 40) and offers a convenient international airport, shopping malls, and theatres, a concert-ready riverfront, dozens of restaurants, a children’s museum, a casino/hotel complex, music festivals, a historic symphony, and more. Between Lincoln and Bangor is the city of Orono, where the University of Maine offers NCAA Division I athletics and a range of cultural events.
