New MaineHealth Palliative Care Facility Opens

By Paige Tobie, MBA, Director, Practice Operations, Palliative Care MaineHealth Medical Group

The Palliative Care department is pleased to announce a new outpatient facility to provide additional access for all MaineHealth patients. The facility, which is located at 144 US Rte 1 in Scarborough, was opened in April, 2023. Palliative Care occupies Suite 2 for patient care and Suite 3 for administrative offices.

The clinic is conveniently located on Route One right off the highway. There is easy parking outside the building. Our clinic space is in a former OBGYN practice, so all exam and consult rooms have an attached restroom. The office gets lots of natural light, and we have taken advantage of that by filling the windowsills with plants. We have telehealth capabilities in our consult rooms to allow for family and caregivers to join virtually if needed. We also have a beautiful family room for larger discussions. Our outpatient staff includes Allison Fowler, Medical Assistant, Zach Broome, Patient Service Representative, Kelsey Hayes, LSW, and Melissa Boxall, RN. Dr. Isabella Stumpf will continue to see patients and will be joined by Dr. Elena Bennett, Dr. Elise Reid and Dr. Renee Sarett over the coming months.

Our team is here to help patients with serious illnesses maximize their quality of life and align their medical care with what matters most to them. We look forward to adding additional staff and availability to provide specialty palliative care to more patients and families.
