These Are The Best Hospitals In New Hampshire, Newsweek Says In New List

NEW HAMPSHIRE — The best hospital in New Hampshire is Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, but four others are ranked in Newsweek’s first-ever ranking of America’s Best In-State Hospitals.

Every hospital in the country was eligible for the inaugural ranking for 2024, which includes 600 hospitals across all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

The results are based on four data sources, including surveys by Newsweek’s data partner, Statista, of doctors, hospital administrators and other healthcare professionals, as well as patients, and Medicare and Medicaid data.

The final scores were weighted on peer recommendations (32.5 percent in-state and 7.5 percent out-of-state), patient experience (17.5 percent), hospital quality metrics (40 percent) and implementation of standardized Patient-Reported Outcome Measures, or PROMs (2.5 percent).

The New Hampshire hospitals named to the list, along with their score, location and network, are:

1. Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, Lebanon (Dartmouth Health) — 80.25 percent
2. Wentworth-Douglass Hospital, Dover (Mass General Brigham) — 76.52 percent
3. Alice Peck Day Memorial Hospital, Lebanon (Dartmouth Health) — 73.14 percent
4. Portsmouth Regional Hospital, Portsmouth (HCA New England Healthcare) — 73.09 percent
5. Frisbie Memorial Hospital, Rochester (HCA New England Healthcare) — 71.68 percent.
