Integrated Primary Care (IPC) Tri-County is a part of the Integrated Primary Care Collaborative that was launched in Maine with support from the Maine Health Access Foundation. For some time we have been working in partnership with Western Maine Pediatrics in Norway as part of this collaborative and in the first stage toward integrated services- coordinated care. One of our Nurse Practitioners consults with the medical providers in the practice on such issues as medication management and general psychiatric issues. In 2009, we were selected for a three year project to build an integrated care system in the Rumford area with three medical practices. Click here for more information about this exciting initiative. By working more closely with pediatricians and primary care physicians, we believe we can break down some of the barriers to early identification and treatment, and increase the well-being of children, families, adn adults with mental illness. .
