COOPERS MILLS—The staff at Sheepscot Valley Health Center will be welcoming Craig Urwin, PA-C to the practice this winter. Craig obtained a Master's of Physician Assistant Studies from Idaho State University in 2016 and an undergraduate degree in neuroscience from the University of Michigan in 2008. He brings four years of local experience in the surgical setting.

Craig recently shared: “I am looking forward to joining the Patient Centered Medical Home that is Sheepscot Valley Health Center and building long standing, personal and meaningful relationships with the people who utilize the center, and serving each person by assisting him or her to live their best, most healthful life. My family and I love living and exploring in the midcoast/central region of Maine, and I cannot think of a better community to serve.”

Craig will be joining physician Kathryn Wistar, family nurse practitioner Natalie Ledue, physician assistants Zach Wissman and Cory Miller, podiatrist Henry Scheuller, and clinical social worker Lynn Murphy. Sheepscot clinicians provide medical and behavioral health services to residents of Coopers Mills, Jefferson, Somerville, Washington, Whitefield, Windsor and surrounding communities.
