Independent oncology and hematology practice across Maine and New Hampshire
New England Cancer Specialists operates as an independent 18-physician oncology and hematology group across four locations in Maine and New Hampshire. The tech stack—Epic, Workday, Power BI, and SQL Server—reflects a healthcare operation managing patient care, payroll, and financial reporting at scale. Active hiring focuses on clinical and support staff, with notable pain points around physician workload, billing collections, and care coordination across multiple sites, suggesting operational strain typical of multi-location practices scaling capacity.
New England Cancer Specialists is a physician-owned medical practice founded in 1978, comprising 18 oncologists and hematologists representing roughly half of Maine's cancer specialist workforce. The group operates four offices in Kennebunk, Scarborough, Topsham, and Portsmouth, New Hampshire, providing medical oncology, hematology, chemotherapy, clinical trials, and genetic counseling services. As an independent practice, New England Cancer Specialists maintains collaborative relationships with regional and national academic medical centers while retaining the ability to partner with any hospital or primary care network. The organization is QOPI-certified, confirming adherence to quality and care standards. Current initiatives include expanding clinical trial enrollment, implementing a comprehensive HR information system, and redesigning compensation strategy—all within the constraints of a 201–500-person operation.
The practice uses Epic Systems for patient records, Workday and ADP for HR and payroll, Power BI and SQL Server for reporting, and Microsoft 365 for business operations—a standard healthcare enterprise stack.
The group operates offices in Kennebunk, Scarborough, and Topsham, Maine, plus Portsmouth, New Hampshire, serving Maine and regional New England patients.
