HealthReach Community Health Centers Welcomes New Provider

 

WATERVILLE - This summer, HealthReach Community Health Centers will be welcoming Nancy Cooley, FNP to the per diem provider team. The organization maintains a pool of fill-in providers to make sure patients receive uninterrupted care when site providers are in training or on leave. In addition to teaching nursing at several Maine universities since 1978, Cooley has been providing outpatient medical care in Central Maine since 1999.

 

Cooley obtained a Master of Science Degree in Parent Child Health/Nursing Education at Boston University, MA and a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study in Community and Family Nurse Practitioner at Husson. She is a member of the Maine Nurse Practitioner Association and board certified through the American Nurses Credentialing Center. She will be joining 50 physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, social workers, dentists, and hygienists who provide medical, behavioral and oral healthcare to 29,000 Maine residents and travelers each year.

 

HealthReach Community Health Centers is comprised of eleven Federally Qualified Health Centers in Central and Western Maine. Dedicated providers deliver high quality health care to citizens in over 80 rural communities. To ensure access for everyone, HealthReach accepts Medicare, MaineCare and major insurances. In addition, we offer an Affordable Care Program to uninsured and underinsured residents and assist with applications for other programs that help with the cost of health care and medications including the new Health Insurance Marketplace. A private, non-profit organization with a 39-year history, HealthReach is funded by patient fees, grants and individual donations.
