The service line is staffed by a multidisciplinary team of approximately 150 licensed independent clinical providers (Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Physician Assistants, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners, Social Workers, etc.), and also includes approximately 50 matrixed clinical and support staff (Nursing, Medical Support Assistants). More than 10,000 Veterans receive their mental health care at VA Maine each year - approximately 25% of the 42,000 Veterans from across Maine and northern New England that are enrolled in the VA Maine system. In addition to providing world-class healthcare services, VA is committed to advancing applied clinical research and healthcare education. Clinical researchers may have access to VA's expansive opportunities for funding as well as vast databases of clinical data.
