Construction Begins on DHMC Expansion Project

Construction is underway on a multi-million dollar expansion project at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, reports WCAX.

The $150 million project is set to add a new inpatient pavilion to the Lebanon campus, with 64 single-person rooms. Included is more room to grow, as the area’s aging population grows. The project was reportedly financed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic’s beginning.

The 200,000-square-foot expansion is expected to begin taking patients in spring of 2022.

Along with increased patient capacity, it is set to create 300 new jobs at DHMC.
