More orthopedic surgery clinics in Ellsworth
Northern Light orthopedics in Ellsworth: The provided content does not specify an Ellsworth-based orthopedic clinic within Northern Light Health. Northern Light Health is a Maine nonprofit health system (founded 1983, headquartered in Brewer) with 9 member hospitals, 37 primary care locations, and over 12,000 employees across Maine. It offers broad services including orthopedic care among other specialties, but there is no explicit listing for an Ellsworth location or the entity “Northern Light Orthopedics” in Ellsworth. If you need Ellsworth specifically, I recommended checking the Northern Light Health site or contacting their offices for the exact orthopedic clinic location in Ellsworth.
