St. Mary's Health System in Lewiston is closing its cancer practice as of July 1, 2024.

A spokesperson for Covenant Health, St. Mary's parent company, said that the hospital is ending a joint venture with MaineHealth to provide oncology care and that those providers will relocate to Mid Coast Hospital in Brunswick.

St. Mary's said it doesn't anticipate other changes to services under its joint venture with MaineHealth, and it will help current oncology patients transition to other providers.
