Welcome to the Maine Independent Health Care Commons
A community for Maine’s private practice leaders, staff, and clinicians — built by and for those on the front lines of care.
Running an independent health care practice takes courage. You’re caring for patients, managing operations, navigating compliance, and keeping your team afloat — often without a safety net.
The Maine Independent Health Care Commons was created to change that.
