Our Mission
Our
mission is to provide high quality patient-centered primary and
preventive
healthcare services and to promote optimum health for the
community.
Sacopee
Valley/Kezar Falls Region
The valley between the Saco River and
Ossipee River makes up
the Sacopee Valley. The Sacopee Valley Health Center is located
in Porter (pop. 1,438).
Porter is one of the three towns (Porter,
Parsonsfield, and South Hiram) that comprise the Kezar Falls Village
area. Our service area is located roughly 45 miles west of
Portland and includes the towns of Baldwin, Brownfield, Cornish, Hiram,
Limerick, Limington,
Newfield, Parsonsfield, Porter and Steep Falls, Maine (all with
populations
of 1,000 to
2,000). We also serve the towns
of Effingham and
Freedom, New Hampshire. We’re rural but not too
remote. The local economy relies on small businesses, cottage
industries, antiquing, farming, forestry and eco-tourism. Many
residents commute to work in Greater Portland.
Ten things we want
you to know about our area:
- The Sacopee
(Saco and Ossipee Rivers)
Valley
and
foothills are
known for four-season beauty and recreational opportunities. ABC
Good Morning America named our area as one of “Top 10 Outdoor Vacation
Spots.”
- We’re only two
hours north of Boston,
less
than
one
hour from Portland to the east and North Conway, New Hampshire to the
west.
- We have dozens of
lakes, ponds,
streams and
brooks
with some of
Maine’s best fishing. We have half a dozen downhill ski areas within
one hour drive. There are miles of snowmobile and cross country
skiing trails. We have great slopes for sledding, an outdoor ice
skating rink, and miles of hiking trails up mountains and down in the
valleys.
- Parsonsfield is
home to the Province
Lake Golf
Club,
a public 18-hole, Par 71 course.

surrounding
communities gather
for
the annual Apple Festival in Cornish.

Saco River Festival
Association
provides five concerts by world-renowned chamber musicians.
