As the first charitable physician group practice in the community, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Nashua (previously known as Matthew Thornton Health Plan) has committed itself to the health care needs of the greater Nashua area. On January 16, 2012, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Nashua opened a brand-new, state-of-the-art, ambulatory care facility providing patients with the most effective and efficient and comprehensive care available for our patients in the region.
Today, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Nashua is a dynamic physician-led organization with more than 100 providers, providing basic (primary) and specialty care to the whole family. Dartmouth-Hitchcock Nashua is part of the growing Dartmouth-Hitchcock health care system, which includes the nationally recognized teaching and research care facility, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, 90 miles north in Lebanon.
Patients and providers benefit from convenient in-house lab and radiology services; urgent appointments for same day, evening, and weekend care; an onsite endoscopy suite; and extensive radiology services include Bone Density testing (DEXA), MRI and CT services. As a multi-specialty group practice, an array of primary and specialty services is available, under one roof. Outpatient tertiary care is also onsite, including reproductive endocrinology/infertility services provided by specialists who travel from Lebanon. The Nashua practice also includes specialists from the Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth (CHaD) and Norris Cotton Cancer Center, a National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center.
Dartmouth-Hitchcock Nashua is part of the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Clinic, which includes four major group practice locations in picturesque southern New Hampshire: Concord, Keene, Manchester and Nashua. All have a sophisticated electronic health records system and a self-insured, well-organized risk management and liability system, making it one of the premier health systems in New England.
