Primary Care | MaineHealth Franklin Hospital

MaineHealth Primary Care provides expert care for the whole family in Farmington and Livermore Falls, Maine. Our family medicine, internal medicine and pediatric care providers offer convenient, patient-centered care that fits your busy schedule. From newborns to older adults, we focus on your overall health and well-being, not just a single problem or illness.

Primary care is your first stop for health care

The best way to stay healthy and well is to see a primary care physician for regular check-ups. That way, problems can be caught and treated early, often preventing chronic conditions and more expensive hospital care. You can count on us for:

  • Compassionate, patient-centered care
  • Shared decision making
  • Same day appointments
  • Expanded office hours
  • 24/7 provider access
  • Integrated behavioral health services

We are here to answer your health questions, provide preventive care, order tests, prescribe medications, help you manage chronic conditions and access specialty care when needed. In case of life-threatening emergency, such as loss of consciousness, chest pain, severe breathing problems, or major bleeding, call 911. Do not delay emergency care by calling our office.
