Infectious Disease Care
The Maine Medical Partners - Gilman Clinic provides the highest quality preventive care and treatment for patients with infectious diseases such as hepatitis and HIV. Our team includes infectious disease and liver specialists, advanced care specialty nurses, social workers, behavioral health professionals, pharmacists and nutritionists. Together, we provide advanced infectious disease care and personal attention to the complex needs of our patients.
We take an integrated approach to care, working closely with primary care providers and community service organizations across the region to coordinate patient support beyond infectious disease specialty care. We assess each patient's complete medical situation and recommend preventive care, such as immunizations. We also provide access to clinical trials of new treatments options.
