Jenna Martini, DO
Central Maine – This November, HealthReach staff in Strong, Livermore Falls, and Belgrade are happy to welcome Dr. Jenna Martini to their care teams.
Dr. Martini grew up in Peru, Maine. She earned her Doctorate degree, Doctor of Osteopathy, from Touro University’s College of Osteopathic Medicine in Vallejo, CA. She previously earned her Bachelor’s degree in Biology from The University of Vermont.
Dr. Martini has a wealth of experience across the healthcare field. After completing family medicine training, she worked as a primary care physician and education faculty in a remote region of Northern California. She recently completed a second residency training program in Osteopathic Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine through Maine-Dartmouth Family Medicine Residency in Augusta, Maine. Dr. Martini will bring these experiences to her position at HealthReach by providing osteopathic manipulative treatment to patients at three HealthReach locations.
Dr. Martini shares, “I believe in meeting people where they are at and working as a team to help achieve their goals. I consider each person as a whole – including body, mind, and spirit. Osteopathic treatments can help the body to function optimally so a person’s underlying health can shine through. It’s amazing to see how much a person’s life can improve in all areas when they feel healthy and well.”
Dr. Martini joins the existing mission-driven, values-focused care teams at the Belgrade Regional Health Center, Strong Area Health Center, and Western Maine Family Health Center (of Livermore Falls). Our clinicians offer medical and behavioral health services for patients of all ages and from all walks of life.

STRONG – This March, staff at Strong Area Health Center are happy to welcome Cinder Savage, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, to the team.
Cinder earned her Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of New England. Previously, she earned her Bachelor’s degree in Rehabilitation from the University of Maine at Farmington. Cinder brings a wealth of experience in caring for patients of all ages. She returns to HealthReach after having worked at our Madison health center.
Cinder shares, “I deeply believe in the dignity and worth of every human being. People want to feel well and to be happy – more and more, we are realizing these both take action and commitment to attain. I believe people have their own answers, but it is incredibly hard to think, learn, manage, or resolve the problems when living inside the issues in this busy world. Therapy can provide an objective view that helps to clarify, organize, and create goals to get you where you want to be.”
Cinder joins physician Ann Schwink; physician assistant Madelyn Besse; and nurse practitioners Jason Caudell and Nichole Yeaton. Our clinicians offer medical and behavioral health services for patients of all ages and from all walks of life.
