Dartmouth Health to Take Over Littleton Regional Healthcare

Dartmouth Health, a renowned health system with over 13,000 employees across eight member hospitals and medical centers, has signed a letter of intent to take over Littleton Regional Healthcare, a critical access hospital in Littleton, New Hampshire. This move marks one of Dartmouth Health's first major ventures into New Hampshire's North Country.

Littleton Regional Healthcare, a 25-bed critical access hospital, serves approximately 60,000 patients per year and has over 500 employees. The takeover, while not yet finalized, is expected to bring improved healthcare services to the residents of Littleton and the surrounding areas.

Dartmouth Health's operations extend beyond New Hampshire, with locations in Vermont, New York, and Massachusetts, as well as more than 30 clinics. The terms of the takeover, including the financial details, have not been disclosed at this time.

The leadership of both organizations, including those from Littleton Regional Healthcare System and Dartmouth Health, signed the letter of intent on Friday. The Littleton Regional Healthcare System intends to bring the Critical Access Hospital in Littleton, N.H. under its sponsorship.

This potential partnership is significant for the North Country region, as it could lead to enhanced healthcare services and resources for the local community. More updates on the progress of this takeover are expected to be released in the coming months.
