The Island Pond Health Center is a family practice designed to make
health care and health education more readily available to area residents.
We offer complete, coordinated, and individualized health care to
people of all ages; from babies to great-grandparents. In this sense,
we try to fill the role of the old-time family doctor.
We have designed our Health Center to include the most modern approaches
to health care. We provide a one-stop location for many of your family's
health needs, including primary medical care, laboratory tests, and
a variety of programs geared toward health maintenance - the prevention
of illness.
Our staff will work with you to treat you when you are sick, and to
keep you healthy when you are feeling well.
The Island Pond Health Center was established in 1977. Prior to that,
Island Pond was the site of one of the first National Health Service
Corps doctors in the country. Our health center is unique in the fact
that it consists of 3 different sources of healthcare under one roof
- a medical office with 2 physicians and a physician assistant, a
dental office with 1 dentist and 2 hygienists and a dispensary where
we dispense a number of medicines for our patients so they do not
have to travel. Our health center is very proud of the effort and
teamwork that is put into serving our surrounding communities health
care needs.
We offer diagnosis and treatment of illness, as well as preventive
health care. We assist patients in managing their chronic illnesses,
and make referrals to specialists as needed.
