To date we have done the following:
- We have filed with the Secretary of State the Certificate of Formation for a nonprofit subsidiary of CCHC through which the DPC would run. This will be called the Castine Primary Care Clinic, CPCC.4.
- With our attorneys, we are reviewing the operating document for this subsidiary.
- We are in conversation with a physician whom we hope will be the primary provider.
- We are working on proforma budgets to determine what this will cost CCHC.
- We are reviewing the specific services which will be provided at this clinic.
- We are also trying to look forward - to consider what other services might subsequently be housed in our clinic (physical therapy, behavioral health, dental services, etc.)

Statement from the Board of the Castine Community Hospital Corporation
February 27, 2026
We regret that tomorrow will be the first day since 1928 that our clinic will not be providing access to medical care for residents of this area. While it is, indeed, a disappointing day, it is far from the end of this story.
