Dartmouth–Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC) is New Hampshire's only academic medical center and is headquartered on a 225-acre (91 ha) campus in the heart of the Upper Connecticut River Valley, in Lebanon, New Hampshire. DHMC is New Hampshire's only Level I Trauma Center, one of only three in northern New England, and it includes New Hampshire's only air ambulance service.
DHMC consists of several facilities:
Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital (MHMH) has a 396-inpatient bed capacity and serves as a major tertiary-care referral site for northern New England. MHMH is one of 14 members of the New England Alliance for Health, a regional network of hospitals and other health care organizations in New Hampshire, Vermont, and Massachusetts that share a common commitment to finding cost-effective and innovative ways to meet the health care needs of each member's community.
Also making up DHMC are the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Clinic, a network of more than 900 primary and specialty care physicians located throughout New Hampshire and Vermont; Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, one of America's oldest and most respected medical schools; and the Veterans Affairs Regional Medical and Office Center at White River Junction, Vermont.
DHMC is also home to the Children's Hospital at Dartmouth-Hitchcock (CHaD), New Hampshire's only children's hospital, and the Norris Cotton Cancer Center, one of only 40 National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer centers in the nation.
Finally, DHMC is home to the Dartmouth Hitchcock Advanced Response Team (DHART). DHART crews provide ground and air medical transportation services to the medical communities of northern New England. In addition, DHART flight crews respond to public safety agency requests for medical evacuation of trauma patients from scenes of injury, and will transport to the closest trauma center in the region.
