The Boothbay Region Health Center, a community-supported, patient-run primary health care facility located at 185 Townsend Avevnue in the Meadow Mall, welcomes our new family nurse practitioner, Whitney Tranchemontagne, to the practice.

Whitney received her master of science in nursing from the University of Southern Maine and is certified as an ANCC Family Nurse Practitioner. She has done rotations at Great Works Family Practice in York, Maine, at Wolfeboro Pediatrics in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, at Asthma & Allergy Associates of Maine in Portland, and at Maine Medical Partners Orthopedics in Falmouth. She has also practiced at Family Healthcare Associates in Auburn, Maine, and at Raymond Redicare in Raymond, Maine. We are happy to have her join our team of experienced healthcare professionals.
