Southern New Hampshire Health is made up of Southern New Hampshire Medical Center and its affiliated multi-specialty provider group, Foundation Medical Partners. The Health System is committed to the improvement, maintenance and preservation of the health of people in the greater Nashua area.
For over a century, Southern New Hampshire Medical Center has grown right along with the Gate City. What began as an 8-bed emergency hospital in 1891 has grown to a 188-bed acute care facility that retains the personal touch of a traditional community hospital while offering patients the resources of a regional medical center. Located in the heart of downtown Nashua, the Medical Center today has a medical staff of over 500 primary and specialty care providers from Foundation Medical Partners, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Nashua and local independent practices. The hospital is now housed on two Nashua campuses and continues its 125-year tradition of providing innovative health programs and preventive health resources to the community.
Formed in 1992, Foundation Medical Partners is the second largest multi-specialty practice group in New Hampshire. The Foundation includes over 240 primary care and specialty providers in 60 practices, with offices in communities throughout the greater Nashua area.
