University Health Care for Kids
providers to move to new practices

Four medical providers from the University of New England’s University Health Care for Kids practice in Portland will be joining InterMed later this summer.

Effective August 1, faculty pediatricians Dr. Kristen Haddon, Dr. Andrew Tenenbaum and Dr. Margaret Zamboni, and pediatric nurse practitioner Karen Weiss, will join InterMed to help open a new pediatric office at 100 Foden Road in South Portland. More information on continuing care with Drs. Haddon, Tenenbaum, Zamboni and nurse practitioner Weiss.

This move will allow InterMed, a premier healthcare provider in Southern Maine, to offer pediatric services in this South Portland location, while building an academic partnership with UNE that will establish educational opportunities for medical and other health care-related students.

InterMed’s pediatricians provide comprehensive care to newborns, children, and adolescents and are consistently recognized as having among the highest vaccination rates in the state. And UNE educates the highest number of health-care professionals in Maine, graduating nearly 600 physicians, physician assistants, nurses, nurse anesthetists, dental hygienists, social workers, occupational therapists, physical therapists and athletic trainers each year.

After July 31, 2012, University Health Care for Kids will no longer operate at Hannaford Plaza in Portland. The College of Osteopathic Medicine has developed clinical and academic partnerships that will transition providers, continue quality care and provide industry leading educational opportunities for students. Current UHC for Kids patients were notified of this transition.
