Emergency Medicine

In case of a medical emergency

  • Call 911, or go directly to the nearest hospital emergency room for immediate medical attention.
  • Notify your family doctor (primary care provider, or PCP) as soon as possible.
  • Get directions

We're here to help when you are faced with a medical emergency, such as:

  • Broken bones
  • Head injury
  • Severe chest pain
  • Shortness of breath
  • Many other types of injuries

Our Emergency Department staff consists of physicians, physician assistants, registered nurses, and emergency medical technicians.

We work closely with Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center and other medical facilities to ensure our emergency patients have immediate transportation to other hospitals if needed.

The Emergency Department offers First Aid Courses to the community, as well as Medical Technician Training programs at the basic and intermediate level.
