MaineHealth internal medicine-pediatrics providers (also called med-peds) offer expert primary care for people of all ages. With specialized training in both pediatric care and adult internal medicine, med-peds are a great choice for people who are born with chronic conditions or develop them during childhood. These patients benefit from transitional care with a primary care provider that can follow them into adulthood.
Compassionate, patient-centered care for the whole family
Internal medicine-pediatrics providers build long-term relationships that support patients and families throughout the lifespan. In addition to providing care in outpatient locations, internal medicine-pediatrics providers may also care for their patients when they are hospitalized.
