When needed, NHC patients can also receive care at New London Hospital and can access the breadth of resources and specialties available across our system. In addition, community programs such as the Tiger Treatment Center—New Hampshire’s only school-based health center—expand NHC’s reach to encompass a broad cross-section of community members, whether or not they receive primary care at NHC, further increasing the health and wellness of the region.NHC prides itself on a uniquely close-knit, collaborative environment, which is strengthened by the fact that staff and providers live and work in the towns and neighborhoods they serve. The commitment to continually improve the wellbeing of individuals in the region by providing high-quality healthcare is evident.Dartmouth HealthAs a strategic partner and member of Dartmouth Health, NLH and NHC bring expert healthcare services directly to the community, allowing residents to receive high-level care close to home.
