Dr. Cathra Chappelle Joins Martin's Point

Dr. Cathra M. Chappelle, M.D., has joined Martin's Point Health Care as a family practice physician at the Martin's Point clinic in Portland.

Dr. Chappelle will specialize in family practice - with a special interest in obstetrics, adolescent health and preventative medicine - at Martin's Point, the state's largest not-for-profit primary care practice.

"Family medicine is a special career which combines my interest in science with the art of human relations," said Dr. Chappelle. "I view my role as a health care consultant who provides information for patients to make informed decisions about their health."

A native of Old Town and a resident of South Portland, Dr. Chappelle is certified by the American Board of Family Practice. She received an undergraduate degree in zoology at the University of Maine in Orono, and earned her medical degree from the University of Vermont College of Medicine in Burlington. She completed her family practice residency and internship at Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor.

Established in 1981, Martin's Point is a not-for-profit health care provider with facilities in Portland, Brunswick and Windham, Maine, and in Portsmouth, N.H. Martin's Point has a staff of more than 300 health care professionals and serves 54,000 patients - including military retirees and dependents of active military personnel - under all major health plans. Martin's Point serves patients in the areas of family practice, internal medicine, pediatrics, surgery, radiology, cardiology, and mammography, as well as other fields.

In addition, Martin's Point is known for its innovative approach to health care. Unique to Martin's Point is its online communication program called Patient's Personal PointsÅ , which allows patients to communicate via a secure server with their doctors to schedule appointments, ask medical questions and obtain prescription renewals. The program won a national technology award from the Healthcare Innovations in Technology Systems (HITS) Partnership in Technology national awards program.
