Physical Health Services

Fish River Rural HealthThe University of Maine at Fort Kent (UMFK) and Fish River Rural Health have recently partnered to expand and enhance health services for students, providing access to one of the most comprehensive and affordable health care options available in northern Maine.

Through the partnership, UMFK students now have access to Fish River’s full array of services, including medical, dental, vision, chiropractic, nutrition, behavioral health care, and clinic-based pharmacy. As a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), Fish River operates on a sliding fee scale, making care affordable for all.

UMFK and Fish River are currently working together to onboard students to streamline the check-in process when care is needed. To further support students, Fish River also provides complimentary shuttle service to students with appointments, offering pick-ups on campus and in the community, and removing that barrier to their care.
