The Medical Rehabilitations Associates office located in Brunswick, Maine, closed earlier this year and the Lewiston office will close later in December. Here are five key notes:
1. The practice employed several physicians and nurse practitioners, but started losing providers including the pain specialists earlier this year. They have been unable to find replacements.
2. Patients were notified of the closures in September and October of this year. Spectrum will transition patients to other specialists where possible.
3. The patients were encouraged to visit primary care physicians who can refer them to other rehabilitation and pain practices.
4. Maine Medical Center-affiliated Central Main Pain Management is preparing for an influx of patients from the closed office and hiring more providers to meet that need.
5. The practice treated patients with acute and chronic pain.
