Bingham Area Health Center was the first practice of the HealthReach Community Health Centers to open its doors in 1975. Our staff members are proud to provide medical and dental care close to home. In addition, the Bingham Health Council, our community board, provides ongoing feedback and support to our practice.

The health center is an outpatient practice offering a wide array of primary health care services. Over thirty years ago we launched our practice with seven patients. In 2008, we served 1,807 area residents. The health center provides family medical care to citizens from many towns in Upper Kennebec Valley. These include Bingham, Caratunk, Embden, Moscow, Pleasant Ridge, Solon, The Forks, and West Forks. In 2008, we reopened our dental center and served 58 dental patients. Health center providers maintain strong collegial relationships with Redington Fairview General Hospital in Skowhegan where patients obtain hospital services if needed.

The health center was originally located in a house at the end of Main Street. Through the extraordinary fundraising efforts of the Bingham Health Council, we relocated to a new state-of-the-art facility in 2002, when we needed to expand to accommodate our growth in patients. In addition, generous area residents and visitors have donated outstanding works of art displayed throughout the facility, which provide a pleasant setting for our patients.

Known as the "Gateway to the Great North Woods," Bingham offers attractions for every season. Impressive rivers, superb fall colors and abundant snow provide a vibrant backdrop for residents and travelers. Noted for its white-water rafting, hunting and snowmobiling opportunities, Bingham is an idyllic community with much to offer the outdoorsman.
