Dartmouth Health proposes expansion of Concord facility. The 36,000 square-foot addition is intended to address Southern New Hampshire's "growing healthcare needs," according to an email statement from Dartmouth Health. Dartmouth Health has submitted plans to the city of Concord for a 36,000 square-foot expansion of its Concord facility, according to an email statement from media relations specialist Cassidy Smith on behalf of Dartmouth Health. The additional space will enhance Dartmouth Health's ability to address "the growing healthcare needs" of Southern New Hampshire, Smith wrote. "We are excited to bring additional care options to the community, and we look forward to working through the local review process and will share additional details as planning progresses," Smith added. Geisel School of Medicine professor Emma Dean, who specializes in health economics, said that having nearby medical services "matters a lot" for patients who need specialty care, as specialists and subspecialists can be "key" in providing the "best care" to patients. "If you think about someone who needs specialty care who's living in southern New Hampshire, if [they] need super specialized care, [they] would either have to travel to Boston or travel to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center," which is located in Lebanon, N.H., Dean said. "That travel distance can make a big difference in quality of life." Geisel School of Medicine professor and vice chair of the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice Carrie Colla said that access to behavioral healthcare - a specialty focused on treating mental health - is "particularly important for population-level health." Behavioral healthcare is "a place where New Hampshire has really been lacking, where we need to expand access," Colla said. Dean noted that improving access should go "beyond just the direct medical system" and into expanding quality care regardless of background. "From what we've seen, no matter how you look at it, people who have come from lower socioeconomic backgrounds have fewer resources and are less able to access special care," Dean said. "So if you want to close those barriers... we need to be considering how to reform policy." Colla said that she thought the Concord expansion "reflects the growing healthcare needs" of southern New Hampshire. "If you look at population metrics of where growth is happening in New Hampshire, it's mostly in the South," Colla said. "One of the things we try to do is get patients access to specialty care as close to their homes as possible." Access is "a high priority" for Dartmouth Health, she added. "There are tremendous opportunities based on telehealth and artificial intelligence to work towards further integration of care across the Dartmouth Health system in ways that will really impact patients," Colla said.

Dartmouth Health secures $11.8M NIH grant to create research program focused on aging with serious illness. * By Newsroom * July 16th, 2026 This Center will foster independent investigators whose work will ultimately improve the care and quality of life for older adults. Angelo E. Volandes, MD, MPH Dartmouth Health, among the nation's most rural healthcare systems, has received an $11.8 million federal grant to develop a multidisciplinary research program focused on addressing the needs of people aging with serious illness. The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), part of the National Institutes of Health, awarded the grant through its Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) program, which supports research capacity building in states that have historically received lower levels of NIH funding. The award will fund the creation of the Center for Aging with Serious Illness (CASI) at Dartmouth Health. The COBRE funding also includes a $2.7 million award to Dartmouth's Geisel School of Medicine to fund its participation in CASI. "Rural America is the next frontier in healthcare, and nowhere is that clearer than in the care of older adults living with serious illness," said Joanne M. Conroy, MD, CEO and president of Dartmouth Health. "The Dartmouth Health system sits at the center of one of the oldest, most rural regions in the country, which gives us both the responsibility and the opportunity to lead. CASI lets us turn that responsibility into research that will change how these patients are cared for, here and across rural America." The growing number of older adults living with chronic, serious illness represents one of the most pressing public health challenges in the United States. However, research addressing the unique needs of this population has not kept pace with its rapid expansion. Building a robust evidence base to improve the quality of life for this group is critical to advancing healthcare. "CASI will concentrate on building a network of experts who will conduct clinical, behavioral, and health services research to address the challenges faced by older adults with serious illness," said Angelo E. Volandes, MD, MPH, Dartmouth Health's interim chief research officer and the Anna Gundlach Huber Professor of Medicine and senior associate dean for clinical and translational research at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth. "Our investigators will focus on solving key issues in aging with serious illness and use their findings to inform healthcare policy and stakeholder decision-making," added Volandes, co-principal investigator of CASI. "This Center will foster independent investigators whose work will ultimately improve the care and quality of life for older adults." CASI's overarching goal is supporting early-career clinician-scientists as they develop experience and expertise as independent researchers dedicated to improving care for older adults with serious illness. It does so through three specific aims: * Establishing a robust framework that integrates research expertise and mentorship to formalize CASI and strengthen Dartmouth Health's research infrastructure, in collaboration with affiliate institutions; * Developing a structured pathway to support early-career clinician-scientists as research project leaders and to enhance their transition to independent investigators through tailored, milestone-driven research plans; * Ensuring the success of research and pilot project leaders by providing comprehensive technical assistance through the Biostatistics, Ethics, Data Management, Research Design, and Community Engagement (BEDRoC) Core, which will serve the broader Dartmouth Health research community focused on improving care for older adults with serious illness. "Given our location between two of the oldest population states per capita - New Hampshire and Vermont - Dartmouth Health is uniquely qualified to be the home of CASI," said Nathan E. Goldstein, MD, the Herman O. West Professor of Geriatrics at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, chair of Dartmouth Health's Department of Medicine and co-principal investigator of CASI. "Our academic medical system is also one of the nation's most rural. We know that rural Americans face numerous barriers to accessing healthcare, and these hurdles are especially challenging for older adults living with chronic illness." "This COBRE funding will allow the CASI team to create the foundational infrastructure required to conduct research leading to improved outcomes for this patient population," Goldstein added. "It also gives us a way to keep our most promising young physician-scientists here, training the next generation of Geisel investigators to spend their careers on the patients our region needs them to serve."

Dartmouth Health announces $10 million gift to launch Vickie French Hospital at Home as part of Dartmouth Health at Home. * By Newsroom * June 25th, 2026 With the launch of the Vickie French Hospital at Home program, Dartmouth Health will be able to deliver this quality of care to its communities for the first time. And in doing so, set a new standard for the nation. Nathan E. Goldstein, MD Dartmouth Health (DH) has received a transformational gift of $10 million from local philanthropist Kenneth R. French to establish the Vickie French Hospital at Home: a first-of-its-kind model of hospital care focused on patients in rural parts of Northern New England, the Hospital will be designed to bring the power of modern medicine directly to patients in their homes. Named in honor of French's late wife Vickie, who worked alongside her husband to develop and refine this vision, the DH program will establish a "hospital without walls" where hospital-level care, including the kind of advanced monitoring and specialist consultations that take place in a traditional hospital, will flow seamlessly into the home. The goal is to create a home hospital program that could serve as a national model to be adapted and scaled to underserved and resource-constrained communities throughout the U.S. "Bringing state-of-the-art hospital care into the home embodies Dartmouth Health's commitment to building and sustaining an age-friendly health system," said Joanne M. Conroy, MD, president and CEO of Dartmouth Health. "As part of our new Dartmouth Health at Home initiative, we are positioning ourselves to be at the leading edge of rural healthcare delivery and meet a long-existing need to innovate, build and implement smarter ways to care for our communities. The Vickie French Hospital at Home program is a defining step forward. We are profoundly grateful to Ken for entrusting us with his and Vickie's vision, and we are humbled to honor Vickie's legacy in such an impactful way." The Vickie French Hospital at Home program will be built around several interconnected components, each designed to meet patients at a different point of need: * Acute Hospital at Home: Patients presenting to the emergency room or similar settings with acute diagnoses, such as heart failure or pneumonia, will receive hospital-level care in their homes rather than being admitted to an inpatient facility. * Post-Operative Home Care: Patients recovering from surgery will be sent home earlier so they can continue their recovery at home under clinical supervision. * Early Medical Discharge: Patients admitted for medical conditions will transition home sooner than would otherwise be possible, with treatment and monitoring continuing seamlessly in their homes. * Palliative Care and Rehabilitation at Home: These components, to be developed during the initiative's later phases, will provide expert, home-centered management for seriously ill patients, as well as those needing high-quality restorative services. "As a practicing physician, I have seen firsthand that where care is delivered is often just as important as the type of care we provide," said Nathan E. Goldstein, MD, chair of the department of medicine at Dartmouth Health and the Herman O. West Professor of Geriatrics at Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth. "For older patients, the home is where they heal best, feel safest, and retain the greatest sense of connectedness to their families and their community. With the launch of the Vickie French Hospital at Home program, we will be able to deliver this quality of care to our communities for the first time. And in doing so, set a new standard for the nation. This is a prime example of providing the right care to the right patient in the right place at the right time." The Vickie French Hospital at Home program, in combination with Dartmouth Health Home Care, formerly Visiting Nurse and Hospice of Vermont and New Hampshire, is a foundational element of Dartmouth Health at Home, the commitment that DH is making to transform rural healthcare delivery outside traditional hospitals. The Frenches' gift arrives at a pivotal moment in American healthcare. By 2040, over 80 million Americans will be 65 or older, facing the highest risks of cancer, heart disease, dementia, and chronic illnesses - all within a fragmented system that often pulls them from their homes. "Vickie and I spent a great deal of time thinking about what it means to age in rural northern New England, where people are often forced to travel long distances to reach the nearest hospital or a specialist," said French, who is also the Roth Family Distinguished Professor of Finance, Emeritus at Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business. "Vickie believed - and I believe - that it doesn't have to be that way. The technology and knowledge exist to bring it all together in a way that truly works for rural communities. What has been needed is the commitment. I am honored to help make this vision a reality at Dartmouth Health in Vickie's name." The Frenches have been committed to transforming healthcare for at-risk populations in northern New England, where they have long called home, for many years. In 2008, they helped Dartmouth Health Children's Child Advocacy and Protection Program expand its telemedicine services to reach vulnerable children in rural New Hampshire and Vermont, years before telehealth became widely embraced. That investment helped create one of the country's most trusted, evidence-driven service models for an at-risk population. With Hospital at Home, the Frenches' vision turned to an equally urgent challenge: ensuring that older and medically vulnerable people can age with dignity, independence, and access to the best that medicine has to offer. "Donors rarely reap any personal benefit from their philanthropic gifts," said French. "With this program, however, I, alongside many others, may one day have the assurance that being cared for at home when it matters most is a possibility." "This is Dartmouth Health at its best: tackling the hardest problems with the rigor and compassion that our patients deserve," said Conroy. "We are truly grateful to Ken for making this moment possible." About Dartmouth Health Home Care.
