Deborah A. Freeman, APRN, FNP

Family Nurse Practitioner

I grew up as the only child of Edwin and Ruth Bunting in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 

My nursing education was at the Einstein Medical Center of Philadelphia.  I also attended Penn State University.  I worked in intensive care nursing in the city and various hospital specialties, as well as years of experience in a small rural hospital in Bridgton, Maine.   Rural practice is where one learns to be good at a lot of things with limited resources and very little specialty help.   Many years of working in physician offices have also broadened my experience.

In the 1980’s, I expanded my training at the University of Maine Nurse Practitioner program.  Throughout my career, and as a certified Family Nurse Practitioner, I have enjoyed, and been most satisfied, with one-on-one patients contact.  I’ll leave administrative nursing to someone else.

Beyond any other accomplishments, being a mother of 6, a wife, a grandmother of 17, and now a great-grandmother of 4, and friend to the family and this community of the Kennebunks, had given me purpose and rewarding direction.  I am blessed and most grateful.

I feel privileged to be working with my husband, Dr. Bud Freeman.  We share a common purpose of providing compassionate, personal, up-to-date care.  We strive to practice both the art and the science of our professions.   We appreciate your trust in us.

I am retired now, but “still in the wings”.
