San Francisco-based digital health care firm Grand Rounds on Tuesday announced plans to double its space in Lewiston's Bates Mill No. 1 Complex, and is on track to have over 200 employees there by year's end.
The company, already up to 150 employees in Maine, said it will maintain its existing space and build out a new 46,900-square-foot space in the same building, with plans to move in by early 2020.
Grand Rounds, which operates primarily on the West Coast, opened its East Coast office in Lewiston in 2016. Founded in 2011 as ConsultingMD, Grand Rounds uses technology to connect patients with local and remote specialty care.
It also collects and digitizes medical records, manages appointments and employs medical professionals to answer patients' questions. It works with Maine-based employers, including Dead River Co., and national retailers with operations here, including Walmart, Target, Home Depot and Lowe's.
The company unveiled its expansion plans Tuesday morning in Lewiston at an event attended by Gov. Janet Mills as well as representatives from the offices of Maine's two U.S. Senators, Angus King and Susan Collins, and from the office of U.S. Rep. Jared Golden, D-Maine 1st District.
"We are honored to have Gov. Mills and so many other distinguished community and business leaders join us today to celebrate our growth and learn about that mission," said Danielle Snow, the Lewiston native who oversees Grand Round's operations there and the company's senior vice president of patient care.
She added: "We believe Grand Rounds will play an important role in helping the state realize the governor's economic vision, especially as we continue to grow and offer Mainers an opportunity for high-tech, high-touch work that makes a meaningful impact in people's lives."
Snow told Mainebiz in June that hiring plans are driven by growing membership and that the company was open to hiring people currently living in Maine as well as those from out of state.
Grand Rounds said Tuesday that it continues to expand its recruitment efforts in Maine to bring on employees for new care and clinical roles as well as business and technical roles to support evolving business needs.
University of Maine's Faye Gilbert, dean of the undergraduate business school, was among Tuesday's scheduled speakers in Lewiston.
"When people in successful and progressive companies such as Grand Rounds choose to partner with people in our universities and community colleges, we attract new talent to our state and we also keep young professionals here," she said.
"Grand Rounds is also connecting with faculty, a true partner in the development of innovative connections that will drive economic development and prosperity in our state and region."
