Lewiston, Maine

Practice Emergency Medicine the Way It Was Meant to Be Practiced

If you’re looking for an Emergency Medicine role where you can deliver high-quality, patient-centered care in a supportive, well-resourced environment — while living in one of New England’s most beautiful regions — this opportunity deserves your attention.

St. Mary’s Health System is seeking a BC/BE Emergency Medicine Physician (.8 FTE) to join our dynamic and collaborative Emergency Department in Lewiston, Maine.

A Department Designed for Excellence

Our recently renovated Emergency Department features:

• 22 modern exam rooms

• Strong nursing support and interdisciplinary collaboration

You will practice in a setting where subspecialty support is readily available, including Surgery, Cardiology, Hospital Medicine, Pediatrics, Neurology, Orthopedics, OB/GYN, and Psychiatry.

Dedicated Behavioral Health Emergency Services

Unlike many community EDs, St. Mary’s offers a separate, dedicated behavioral/mental health emergency department staffed with psychiatric nurse practitioners, specialized nurses, and support staff — along with inpatient child/adolescent psychiatry, adult psychiatry, and chemical dependency services. This structure allows for safer, more efficient care for all patients.

National Recognition in Geriatric Emergency Care

St. Mary’s Emergency Department has earned Level 3 Geriatric Emergency Department Accreditation from the
American College of Emergency Physicians.

This national recognition reflects our commitment to delivering thoughtful, coordinated emergency care tailored specifically to older adults — an increasingly vital part of Emergency Medicine.

• Competitive salary

• Sign-on bonus

• Relocation allowance

• Student loan reimbursement

• Full benefits package

• 403(b) retirement plan with company match

A Health System With Depth & Stability

St. Mary's Regional Medical Center is a 233-bed acute care facility and part of a broad, integrated system that includes:

• St. Mary’s Physician Network (primary & specialty care)

• Community Clinical Services (FQHC with psychiatric services)

• St. Mary’s d’Youville Pavilion (long-term care)

• St. Mary’s Residences (independent living)

• Auburn Campus including Orthopedics, Physical Rehab, Sleep Center, Cardiopulmonary Rehab, and on-site lab and imaging

This infrastructure provides stability, access to resources, and a true continuum of care for your patients.

Live Where Others Vacation

Lewiston-Auburn is Maine’s second-largest metropolitan area — just:

• 40 minutes from Portland

• Under an hour to the ocean or mountains

This is a place where work-life balance is not just discussed — it is achievable.
