The group is the first Affiliate Member of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. NECS has offices in Scarborough, Topsham, and Kennebunk in Maine, and Portsmouth in New Hampshire.

Rausch, from Auburn, has joined the team and will practice at the Scarborough office.

“I am excited about the opportunity to join the team here in providing top-tier care to Mainers who are facing a cancer diagnosis,” Rausch said.

Rausch was born in Lewiston and grew up in Auburn, where he still lives. He graduated from Haverford College in Philadelphia and went to medical school at Tufts University. Rausch finished his residency at Lahey Clinic Medical Center in Burlington, Massachusetts, and did a fellowship at St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center. He is board-certified in hematology and oncology.
