About Dr. McElroy
Dr. McElroy earned a Bachelor of Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a Master of Arts from Wesleyan University, and she taught elementary and middle school music before entering medicine. She earned her Doctorate in Medicine from the University of Massachusetts Medical School and, as a resident at the Lawrence Family Medicine Residency, cared for a medically and culturally diverse population. She is certified by the American Board of Family Medicine and is a Diplomate of the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine.
She has provided primary care in Maine since 2011. Cold River Health, her independent practice, provides primary care for patients of all ages centered on Lifestyle Medicine, with visits that may include a walking session, a healthy cooking activity, mindfulness practice, or a farm wellness retreat.
Dr. McElroy has served as Health Officer for the Town of Stow, Maine, and is a school board member of Maine School Administrative District (MSAD) 72. Outside her practice, she enjoys writing and playing music, and riding and training horses.
Having worked as a hospital employee and in Federally Qualified Health Centers, I have witnessed the limitations these practice models and insurance companies place on physicians. We cannot address the complex health needs of our patients in short appointment times and still provide the best quality care.
