Portland’s healthcare community includes several exceptional providers that have earned regional and national recognition for their outstanding patient care and clinical excellence. Here are some of the leading healthcare organizations serving the Portland area.
Maine Medical Center stands as the flagship facility of the MaineHealth system and operates as a 929-bed teaching hospital affiliated with Tufts University School of Medicine. With a staff exceeding 6,000 employees, Maine Medical Center functions as one of only three Level I Trauma Centers in Northern New England. The hospital sees approximately 28,000 inpatient visits annually, along with about 500,000 outpatient visits, 88,000 emergency visits, and performs over 27,000 surgeries each year. As the largest tertiary care hospital in Northern New England, Maine Medical Center serves all of Maine and extends its reach into Vermont and New Hampshire.

The healthcare sector plays a vital role in Portland’s economy and the broader Maine economy. Healthcare and social assistance represent significant employment categories, providing jobs for thousands of residents while serving the state’s growing population. Maine’s population recently surpassed 1.4 million people, with much of the growth attributed to people moving to Maine from other states.
Handling the administration and reimbursement for these medical facilities and practitioners requires specific knowledge of Maine’s healthcare environment. That’s why Medwave brings its expertise in medical billing, credentialing, and payer contracting to healthcare professionals throughout the Portland area.
