In order to strengthen its response to COVID-19 (coronavirus) while continuing to provide care for patients with other health needs, LincolnHealth has temporarily relocated Lincoln Medical Partners Family Medicine in Wiscasset to the Watson Health Center in Damariscotta.

“This is a time where we must anticipate the growing needs related to COVID-19,’’ said James Donovan, pesident of LincolnHealth. “Having this team on the Miles campus creates another layer of resources we may need if COVID-19 continues to spread.

“We recognize that traveling to Damariscotta creates some inconvenience for our patients in the Wiscasset region,’’ Donovan said. “And it is our goal to keep them connected with the Wiscasset team that they have come to know and trust – no matter where it is located.”

Patients can reach the LMP Wiscasset team by calling 882-7911.
