Down East Community Hospital Physician & APP Jobs

Down East Community Hospital is a 25-bed critical access hospital in Machias, Maine, offering state-of-the-art technology and specialty services almost unheard of in a small rural hospital. We serve our immediate community in Machias and all of Washington County — Maine's Sunrise County — bordered by New Brunswick to the northeast and the Bay of Fundy.

Founded by a group of dedicated citizens and opened in 1964, DECH has grown into an integral part of the region, providing inpatient and outpatient medical, surgical and emergency services. Alongside primary care — Family Practice, Pediatrics and Obstetrics/Gynecology — we offer Podiatry, Urology, Otolaryngology (ENT), General Surgery including minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, Orthopedics, Neurology and Pain Medicine. Our Emergency Department was expanded in 2017 to nine private rooms, and our practices serve patients in Machias, East Machias, Jonesport and Milbridge.

Our mission is to improve the health of the people in the Sunrise County by being as passionate, determined and resilient as those we serve, and by balancing exceptional service, financial integrity, current technology, staff satisfaction and collaborative community involvement. We are deeply committed to quality, patient safety and patient satisfaction.
