Central Maine Healthcare to open Bridgton walk-in clinic

BRIDGTON — Everyday primary care — treatment for everything from the flu to sports physicals — will be more accessible to the Lake Region community with a new walk-in clinic, Central Maine Healthcare announced.

North Bridgton Family Practice & Walk-In Clinic will offer quick and easy access to primary care and lab draw services. The site will operate as a complementary service in the established North Bridgton Family Practice location at 14 Wyonegonic Road and will open Friday, Feb. 15.
“We heard from the community that access to primary care was their most important healthcare concern,” said Jeff Brickman, president and CEO of Central Maine Healthcare. “And we know that the community wants same-day options, without having to wait for an appointment or make an expensive visit to the ER. This is a big step toward meeting those needs.”
The North Bridgton Family Practice & Walk-In Clinic will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday to provide quick and easy access to primary care and diagnostic lab draw services.
Patients will not have to have an existing relationship with the practice, Bridgton Hospital or CMH in order to use this service, and unlike the previous “walk-in clinic/urgent care” at Bridgton Hospital, this is not a fast-track ED; services will be billed at a practice visit level which is significantly lower than an emergency room visit.
More accessible care options are forthcoming in the Lake Region, according to CMH.
