This September, staff of the Belgrade Regional Health Center welcomed Teresa Farrington, DO, to their professional healthcare team.
Dr. Farrington earned her Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from The University of Health Sciences, College of Osteopathic Medicine, in Kansas City, Missouri. Previously, she earned her bachelor’s degree in Biology from Bowdoin College, in Brunswick. Dr. Farrington’s wealth of medical experience includes a variety of specialties – including internal medicine, pulmonary medicine, critical care medicine, and sleep disorders. Her extensive experience will make her a great addition to the Belgrade team.
When asked about her approach to care, Dr. Farrington said, “I have enjoyed practicing in the Waterville/Oakland area for the past 23 years. I am happily looking forward in taking this next step with HealthReach and feel blessed to be continuing to provide care for the community I know and love.”
Dr. Farrington joins the existing Belgrade clinical team – Dr. Amy Madden; Doctor of Podiatry, Daniel Keane; Family Nurse Practitioners, Abigail Dalzell-Dixon and Sharon Lopez; Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, Theresa Rush; and Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Rita Alfonso-LaBarbera.
