Penobscot Valley Hospital is pleased to announce that Kate Maurer, PA-C, has returned to Penobscot Valley Primary Care! Kate will be available Tuesday through Thursday to provide care ensuring that current Rural Health Clinic patients of all ages have access to prompt and convenient care when they need it most.
In a small, rural community like Lincoln, Maine, access to timely medical care is crucial. Many residents face challenges such as long travel distances to larger healthcare facilities, limited provider availability, and difficulty securing last-minute appointments. By adding more skilled providers, patients receive the medical attention they need without unnecessary delays or the need to seek care outside the area.
For many individuals and families, unexpected illnesses—such as respiratory infections, flu symptoms, minor injuries, or sudden health concerns—can disrupt daily life. Without immediate access to care, conditions may worsen, leading to unnecessary emergency room visits or extended discomfort. With Kate Maurer now joining our team, Penobscot Valley Primary Care can:
- Reduce wait times for non-emergency medical concerns
- Prevent unnecessary trips to the ER for minor illnesses and injuries
- Provide more accessible care for working individuals and families who need flexible scheduling
- Support the overall well-being of the community by addressing health concerns before they escalate
Kate Maurer is a familiar face to many and brings a wealth of experience and compassionate care to our team. Her return ensures that Penobscot Valley Primary Care continues to fulfill its mission of providing high-quality, accessible healthcare to our community.
If you or a loved one needs an appointment, call 207-794-3296 to schedule a visit. We’re thrilled to welcome Kate back and remain committed to keeping our community healthy and cared for.
