Downeast OB/GYN in Bangor, Maine, will close July 2, 2026, due to physician shortages and unsustainable on-call demands.
Downeast OB/GYN in Bangor, Maine, will close on July 2, 2026, due to ongoing difficulties recruiting physicians, according to Dr. Christopher Rumsey, who owns the practice.
The departure of two physician partners and a midwife left him responsible for 24/7 on-call duties, which he says is unsustainable.
Patients will receive written notice, and Rumsey plans to join Women’s Healthcare of Maine at Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center.
Two nurse practitioners may stay in the area to continue providing care.
The closure highlights broader challenges in sustaining rural healthcare services.
