Help us expand care close to home.
Philanthropy has already proven pivotal in making Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC) the standard bearer for compassionate and advanced clinical care in our region and beyond. By completing the Patient Pavilion—with new floors and spaces currently under construction—we can advance DHMC’s vision to meet the needs of our growing patient population for decades to come. Join us and help build a new era of care close to home.

Patient Pavilion Testimonial
We are the health care safety net for 1.9 million residents in northern New England. When our neighbors need us, we must be ready—providing them with the most advanced medical care, delivered with compassion, as close to home as possible."
Making Space for the "Heart" of Healthcare
At DHMC, you’ll find the Heart and Vascular Center in the new state-of-the-art Patient Pavilion, a 240,000 square-foot inpatient facility that enhances the hospital’s capacity to address the increasing needs of the region’s most critically ill patients. The completion of the Pavilion's fifth floor, part of the ongoing expansion of these facilities, will have a significant impact on DHMC’s ability to care for these patients.
The increased space means that more patients can be welcomed through our doors, while also opening up critical space elsewhere for clinicians and technicians to perform the procedures that make DHMC a national leader in heart and vascular care.
A Wraparound Approach to Advancing Cancer Care
As part of the ongoing expansion of the Patient Pavilion, its second floor will be thoughtfully designed to support the treatment of some of the most complex cancer cases: those that affect the blood, bone marrow, and lymphatic systems and that often require multifaceted care regimens. And, because this floor will also include space to advance clinical trials and innovative cellular therapies—which are designed to attack cancer at a microscopic level—we will be better able to serve cancer patients who need us most.
Employees Inspire Gift to Patient Pavilion
Bill and Sue Conaty’s gift commitment in support of the new Patient Pavilion is striking in its generosity: $5.25 million, the second-largest donation in the hospital’s history, a component of which will come in the form of a bequest. The inspiration behind it is remarkable as well: The Conatys made their gift in honor of all DHMC employees.
