Working at Islands Community Medical Services
Thank you for considering ICMS in your career plans! If you are seeking to work in the rewarding field of healthcare, ICMS has many opportunities from direct patient care to administration to working with the community.
Why Choose to Work at ICMS?
At ICMS we work to improve the health and lives of our patients, many of whom would otherwise face financial, cultural, or language barriers that would prevent access to high-quality, affordable health care.
Our non-profit organization started in 1962, and now offers care to people from Matinicus, North Haven, and Vinalhaven. Patients receive medical, dental, behavioral health and physical therapy care, in addition to access to community resources, help with health insurance coverage and access to affordable medications.
Who We Serve
ICMS provides care to more than individuals at Vinalhaven clinic. Our patients include people of all ages, ethnicities and cultures and are a broad reflection of the communities in which we live. Some of our patients struggle to meet their basic needs, such as housing, access to food and job opportunities. When a patient comes to us, they can access a variety of providers and services to help them achieve better health. Our team-based approach to care – with the patient an active participant in the care they receive – is what sets ICMS apart. By making sure each patient receives personalized care in a consistent and caring manner, patients are better equipped to make decisions regarding their health care and take control of their future health and well-being.
