Our Story
The valley between the S**o River and Ossipee River makes up the S**opee Valley. The S**opee Valley Health Center is located in Porter (pop. 1,438). Porter is one of the three towns (Porter, Parsonsfield, and South Hiram) that comprise the Kezar Falls Village area. Our service area is located roughly 45 miles west of Portland and includes the towns of Baldwin, Brownfield, Cornish, Denmark, Hiram, Fryeburg, Limerick, Limington, Newfield, Parsonsfield, Porter, Standish and Steep Falls, Maine (all with populations between 1,000 and 4,000). We also serve the towns of Effingham, Freedom and Ossipee, New Hampshire.
We’re rural but not too remote. The local economy relies on small businesses, cottage industries, antiquing, farming, forestry and eco-tourism. Many residents commute to work in Greater Portland.
