Our History
In 1975, when the local healthcare provider in Bingham retired, the rural Maine community got together and came up with a vision for a community healthcare center where everyone was welcome. Working together, neighbors helped raise funds to renovate an old house, which they converted into a community health center. And so, Bingham Area Health Center was created.
Today, HealthReach Community Health Centers has 12 locations across Maine, serving more than 28,000 people annually in Central and Western Maine, including Kennebec, Franklin, Oxford, Somerset, Lincoln, Knox, Waldo, Sagadahoc, and Androscoggin counties. We are a private 501(c)(3) nonprofit healthcare organization and a Federally Qualified Health Center. Our care specialists offer high-quality medical and behavioral health services, as well as dental care at several sites, through integrated care teams to help patients at all stages of life get better and stay healthy.
We work with hospital systems and local organizations in our communities to help Mainers with crisis, health, social service, education, and other complementary support. We treat the whole person: mental, emotional, physical, and social, and we partner with patients and their families to make medical decisions and take an active role in their care.
