DHART provides high-tech, high-quality care to those most in need, expanding Dartmouth-Hitchcock’s ability to provide the best care, in the right place, at the right time.
Since its first call – a patient transport from Valley Regional Hospital in Claremont in the early hours of July 1, 1994 –DHART has transported more than 20,000 critically ill and injured patients across New Hampshire, Maine, and Vermont.
