MaineHealth Program
About This Program
MaineHealth Maine Medical Center Portland is located on the beautiful coast of Maine, about 2 hours from Boston. While Portland is considered a city and boasts the same features as a place like Boston, it really feels more like a large town. We are known as a "Foodie" city, and were rated by Bon Appetit as one of the best food destinations in the US. There is a vibrant art scene in Portland, and outdoor activities are steps away. -
