Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center is a teaching hospital and medical network headquartered in Lebanon, New Hampshire.
DHMC comprises Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital, a 396-bed tertiary-care hospital, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Clinic, Dartmouth Medical School, and the Veterans Affairs Regional Medical and Office Center at White River Junction .
DHMC is also home to the Children's Hospital at Dartmouth (CHaD), New Hampshire's only children's hospital, and the Norris Cotton Cancer Center, the state's only National Cancer Institute designated comprehensive cancer center.
In 1988, construction on the current facility began on a 225-acre (911,000-m²) lot in Lebanon. The new hospital opened in 1991 and has recently undergone an expansion to significantly increase outpatient, surgical, and emergency care space, as well as increasing research facilities at Norris Cotton Cancer Center.
Recently, a parking garage has been added to the hospital.
