🥇 Ranked #1 Hospital in New Hampshire - thanks to "the extraordinary commitment our teams make every day to deliver exceptional care to the patients and communities we serve here in rural New England,” said Joanne M. Conroy, MD, president and CEO of Dartmouth Health.

We've again been named a 2026-2027 Best Hospital by U.S. News and World Report.

“A hospital named among the U.S. News Best Hospitals has demonstrated its commitment to high-quality care, especially in achieving successful outcomes for patients,” said U.S. News’ managing editor and chief of health analysis Ben Harder. “A Best Hospitals recognition reflects consistent top-tier medical care to its community.”

We were rated as high-performing in 18 of 23 categories, up from 15 last year. New areas recognized this year include back surgery (spinal fusion), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), ear, nose and throat surgery, heart failure and knee replacement.

Lauren Rogers has built an environment where nurses feel valued, give their best, and thrive.

As an incredible Clinical Nurse Supervisor in the Intermediate Special Care Unit (ISCU), she has been a steady, inspiring presence for years. Recently, she won the Nurse Leader Award.

One of her most remarkable accomplishments has been transforming her unit from just six full-time RNs and reliance on travel staff, to a fully staffed team with no travel contracts. That kind of change doesn't happen by chance. It happens through steady leadership and vision!

Have you seen our new Dartmouth Health Children's outdoor play space? It was made possible through the generosity of Elliot Perry and the Elliot Perry Foundation.

Inspired by his own experience receiving care from our teams as a premature baby, Elliot has helped create outdoor play spaces where patients, siblings and families can take a break, enjoy fresh air and simply be kids. Located in the Courtyard on the third floor, this new space will make a meaningful difference during a child's healthcare journey.
