About Dartmouth Health:

Why are we so unique? We are a nationally recognized Academic Medical Center set right in the middle of the White Mountains of New Hampshire. We recognize that “quality of life” means different things to different people, but we are very confident you will love it here as we have beautiful, rural and suburban housing options, world-class primary, secondary and graduate schools, hundreds of lakes, thousands of miles of hiking trails and some of the best skiing in the country. This all means you can be a happy nurse with more quality time with friends, family, pets or maybe just quiet hikes by yourself. Our idea of traffic in the “Upper Valley” of New Hampshire is a line on the ski mountain at the chair lift.
