Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center

Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center

Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center was founded in 1893 and has grown into the central academic medical campus for Dartmouth Health. Joanne M. Conroy, MD serves as its operational lead. The institution's endowment and foundation structures support clinical, research, and educational activities tied to the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth. The center holds direct ownership of its Lebanon campus at 1 Medical Center Drive along with the Patient Pavilion, Heater Road clinics, and a Route 120 mixed-use site. It maintains the Birds of America print collection donated by Laurance and Mary Rockefeller and operates DHART air and ground transport units. Geographic reach centers on New Hampshire and extends across northern New England states. Elyse Allan serves as a trustee with prior GE Canada leadership. The organization belongs to the Healthcare Anchor Network and the Children's Hospital Association. A recent operational step includes continued development of the Patient Pavilion tower completed within the last 24 months. Governance separates the medical center's clinical operations from its Mary Hitchcock Foundation and Auxiliary vehicles, creating distinct channels for philanthropic inflows and real-asset stewardship.
