About Dartmouth Health

Dartmouth Health has a long history of healthcare innovation and compassionate care for our New Hampshire and Vermont neighbors. From the founding of Dartmouth Medical School in 1797— one of the original four medical schools in America— to the establishment of Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital on the college grounds nearly a century later, to our present network of hospitals, clinics, home care and facilities across our region, this foundational commitment has remained embedded in our culture.

As New Hampshire’s only academic health system, Dartmouth Health is the state’s most expansive provider of care and the largest private employer. Primarily serving New Hampshire and Vermont, as well as patients from across northern New England, we are a non-profit, fully integrated healthcare delivery network of more than 2,300 providers practicing in virtually every area of medicine.

The Dartmouth Health system includes:

  • Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC) – its academic medical center in Lebanon, NH

  • Dartmouth Cancer Center – one of the only 56 NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers in the nation

  • Dartmouth Health Children’s – NH’s only children’s hospital

  • Community Hospitals in Lebanon, Keene and New London, NH, as well as Bennington and Windsor, VT

  • Visiting Nurse and Hospice for Vermont and New Hampshire

  • 30+ Dartmouth Hitchcock Clinics that provide ambulatory services across New Hampshire and Vermont with comprehensive primary and specialty care clinics in Keene, Concord, Manchester, and Nashua, NH as well as Bennington and Windham counties in VT.

The Dartmouth Health system trains nearly 450 residents and fellows annually across 53 programs, and performs world-class research in partnership with the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth and the White River Junction VA Medical Center in White River Junction, VT. Additionally, our partnerships with local colleges such as Colby-Sawyer College offer advanced education and development opportunities for employees.
