Sacopee Valley Health Center:
Providing the best healthcare for our 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.
