Richard Marino, MD of Maine Medical Partners Geriatrics and Medical Director at The Cedars, was recently named Maine’s best physician for Geriatric Services in Down East Magazine’s TopDocs survey. His exacting and compassionate commitment to senior health was recognized by his peers, and sets The Cedars apart.
“We have two main goals for our rehab patients,” Dr. Marino explains. “First, we help them get stronger, so they can return home. Secondly, we prevent re-hospitalizations.”
To avoid having to transfer patients to and from the hospital for tests or treatment, Dr. Marino’s team is at The Cedars five days a week and available 24/7. “We address patient needs as soon as they arise, and anticipate problems before they occur,” he says.
This extraordinary level of state-of-the-art care keeps our re-hospitalization rate at just 9% — less than half of the national average!
