The Dartmouth-Hitchcock Alliance:  Who We Are

The Dartmouth-Hitchcock Alliance is a group of local hospitals, mental health centers, and home health care agencies that came together in a shared commitment to improve the quality, efficiency, and availability of health care in New Hampshire, Vermont, and western Massachusetts. As a group, we share knowledge, resources, and solutions to challenging health care issues. In our local communities, we treat illness and improve wellness.

DHA's Core Values:

We believe that locally-directed health care, which is responsive to local needs and culture, is crucial.We believe that all financial assets of DHA member organizations should remain in the community, under the governance of our members' local boards.We believe that excellent regional health care requires coordination, communication, and collaboration.

We believe that referrals of patients for care should be driven by the best interest of the patients, not by membership in the Alliance.
