Dear Friends,
Community. Compassion. Collaboration. Care.
These are the words that come to mind when I think of Islands Community Medical Services, Inc. (ICMS). ICMS has served Vinalhaven for 70 years - and our doors remain open to residents, vacationers and visitors, alike.
We are dedicated to our community and remain responsive to your needs and to the changes in health care. Our patient population and our physical space at 15 Medical Center Loop have grown as have our programs and services; behavioral health, a dental clinic, physical therapy and outreach and enrollment for health care coverage.
At ICMS we believe in meeting you where and when you need us: helping you manage a chronic condition, providing patient education, facilitating and host support groups, or helping you with setting goals for the health of you and your family. We are proud to greet you at our clinic or meet you at your door.
The public health emergency caused by COVID-19 has made our work more challenging but our staff and our community worked together to keep our healthcare system working. We partnered with our town offices, our fire department, emergency operations crew and the school to run vaccination clinics...resulting in one of the highest vaccination rates in Maine!
It is a time of great change for ICMS. As the new Executive Director and a new Vinalhaven resident, I am enjoying meeting so many new people inside and outside the organization. I am living in the ICMS apartment building at 25 Medical Center Loop , one of the supports that is offered to new staff who are relocating to Vinalhaven. I look forward to meeting more of you and bringing you more great service in the year ahead.
I know I speak for the entire ICMS team and our Board of Trustees when I tell you that we are here for you. Thank you for visiting our website. Please visit us often, and don’t forget to visit us in person too!
Sincerely,
Community. Compassion. Collaboration. Care.
