Pines Health Services is a physician practice management organization with 23 physicians, 9 midlevel providers in a service area of about 35,000.  Pines' northern Maine locations include Caribou, Presque Isle, Limestone and Van Buren.

Pines Health Centers have provided services for over 20 years in a primary and secondary service area of about 35,000. Pines has a dedicated, volunteer board of directors, and strong, supportive relationships with Cary Medical Center.  Pines providers are active members of Cary Medical Center's active medical staff.

Unlimited potential exists for an Internist to join Pines Health Centers with work primarily in Presque Isle, with some time required at the Health Center in Caribou.  Both locations offer dynamic communities that are economically, culturally, and socially inviting.  This opportunity exists due to the relocation of an existing Internist.

As an employee of Pines Health Services, the successful Internal Medicine candidate will receive a competitive salary, generous benefits package, CME reimbursement, relocation assistance, and education loan repayment, if applicable.  The physician will receive an annual allowance for licensing and subscriptions for their practice.
