MaineHealth Mid Coast Hospital Seeks Full-Time Pulmonary and Critical Care Physician

MaineHealth Mid Coast Hospital in Brunswick is recruiting a full-time Pulmonary/Critical Care physician to join an established specialty practice that serves both inpatient and outpatient needs. The posting, published Jan. 28, 2026, notes the group is “looking to expand outpatient pulmonary services in the Mid Coast Region and support community hospital ICU,” language that points to an effort to boost local capacity for respiratory and critical care.

The listing describes a mix of inpatient and outpatient pulmonary and critical care medicine, with an office “conveniently located adjacent to Mid Coast Hospital.” Sleep medicine training is not required; the posting states, “Sleep medicine training/experience is optional.” The recruitment message encourages a broad applicant pool: “New graduates and experienced candidates are encouraged to apply.” The position is presented as full-time on multiple job platforms, including MaineHealth careers, LinkedIn, ZipRecruiter, Teal, and Healthecareers.

Platform metadata captured on Teal lists Job Type as Full-time, Career Level as Entry Level, and Education Level as No Education Listed. Those entries stand alongside the clinical title Pulmonary/Critical Care physician, although the captured excerpts do not include explicit education or board certification requirements. The posting appears across several job boards, and LinkedIn displayed prompts such as “Be among the first 25 applicants” and noted that “Referrals increase your chances of interviewing at MaineHealth by 2x.”

For Sagadahoc County residents, the hire could matter in tangible ways. Mid Coast Hospital provides critical services to Brunswick and neighboring coastal towns where travel to larger centers can be a barrier for older adults, people with chronic lung disease, and low-income households. Expanding outpatient pulmonary services may reduce wait times for diagnoses and follow-up care, and strengthening ICU staffing can affect how quickly seriously ill patients receive local treatment rather than being transferred out of the county.

The recruitment also touches on workforce and equity questions that affect rural health. Encouraging new graduates signals an interest in growing the local pipeline of specialists, which could help address long-standing shortages of pulmonary and critical care physicians in smaller hospitals. At the same time, the posting omits details many applicants and community advocates typically seek, such as compensation, clinical schedule, ICU bed capacity, and required certifications.

MaineHealth frames the opportunity with community appeal, saying Mid Coast Hospital “is proud to maintain a sense of warm community, while also being part of our large, successful Medical Group,” and describing Brunswick as offering “the perfect balance of small-town charm with thriving culture, easily accessible amenities of every variety, and the tranquil beauty of Maine beaches and forest.” Interested clinicians can apply through MaineHealth careers or the posting mirrors on job platforms.

For readers, this recruitment signals an incremental effort to shore up respiratory and critical care services in the Mid Coast region. Watch for further details from MaineHealth on clinical responsibilities, staffing models, and how expanded outpatient services will be scheduled and accessed locally.
