Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon has received a $5.25 million gift, the second-largest in the hospital’s history.
The gift comes from D-H Trustee Bill and Sue Conaty, the former of which served 40 years at General Electric. According to the Associated Press’ report, the money will be going towards a new, five-story building on the Lebanon campus, which will house patients.
The building, currently called the Patient Pavilion, is set to open in 2023. The Pavilion will consist of 64 patient rooms to help address the needs of patients from around the state of New Hampshire, as DHMC is the state’s sole Trauma 1 Center.
Reportedly, almost 300 critically ill patients are turned away from DHMC each month due to lack of hospital beds.
