Maine's healthcare system serves a population of approximately 1.4 million residents across a largely rural state with a significant elderly population. Maine Medical Center in Portland is the state's largest hospital and a Level I Trauma Center, affiliated with Tufts University School of Medicine and serving as the primary referral center for northern New England. MaineHealth, the state's largest health system, operates Maine Medical Center along with hospitals in Biddeford, Brunswick, and other communities. Northern Light Health is the other major health system, serving eastern and central Maine from its flagship Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor.
Maine has one of the oldest populations in the nation, with a median age significantly above the national average. This demographic reality drives high demand for geriatric care, cardiology, orthopedics, and long-term care services. The state also faces significant rural healthcare challenges, with many counties having limited access to primary care and specialists.
Maine expanded Medicaid — known as MaineCare — through a voter-approved ballot initiative in 2017, with implementation beginning in 2019. The Maine Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) (maine.gov/dhhs) oversees MaineCare and public health programs. The Maine Board of Licensure in Medicine (maine.gov/md) licenses physicians.
