LEBANON — Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health opened its newly expanded $62 million ambulatory surgery center in Manchester last month and is preparing to begin same-day surgeries there next week.
New Hampshire’s southern tier is a critical market for the Lebanon-based health system because it is the largest and most densely populated part of the state, and the population there also is younger and growing, D-HH Chief Strategy Officer Steve LeBlanc said during a conference call to update bond investors on Thursday.
It’s also a region where D-H faces competition from Boston-based health systems, he said. It’s “important for us to have a strong position,” said LeBlanc.
