Maine Medical Center and private, community based physicians (including Maine Medical Partners Neurosurgery & Spine) are working together to create a national caliber neurosciences program for the state of Maine.
“To be part of the development of a world-class neurosurgical program in the state of Maine is to fulfill a personal vision which is shared by all of the neurosurgeons of this practice.” Lee L. Thibodeau, MD
MMC and private physicians have embraced a bold vision to create a Neurosciences Center for Maine, building on the extraordinary depth and breadth of expertise already here.
Portland and Maine have long been blessed with very skilled physicians and other professionals in the neurosciences. These are physicians who could practice anywhere in the country, and indeed they are constantly courted by other states. The Neurosciences Center will bring them all together to 1) preserve the services for Maine, 2) integrate them for better care, 3) enhance services for the future.
