Hear from one of our nurse managers in their own words:

“Our Emergency Department at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center is a dynamic, innovative, and ever-evolving environment, comprised of low to high-acuity patients of all ages, a cutting-edge "Landing Zone" designed for rapid interventions with specialized procedures for urgent to critically ill patients, and a dedicated Behavioral Health unit focused on providing safe, compassionate mental health care. The unit zone structure allows for specialized, efficient and empathetic patient-centered emergency services across a wide spectrum of needs.”

                        ~ Debra Goodrum, MSN, RN, Nurse Manager – Emergency Department

    Our Emergency Department features 43 beds staffed by a team of skilled team of RNs, LPNs, Paramedics, AEMTs,  EMTs, and LNAs. As the only Level 1 Trauma Center in New Hampshire, we collaborate closely with our sister hospital affiliates to care for patients requiring urgent to critical, neurological, cardiac, obstetrical, pediatric, medical, or trauma services. We serve our region with a high volume of referrals, transfers, and trauma consults from outside facilities, in addition to providing comprehensive emergency care to our local community. Annually, we treat approximately 35,000 patients, about 100 patients/day, ranging from neonates to the elderly, presenting with complex, multi-system health conditions.

    Our nursing team is trained in adult and pediatric resuscitation, acute and outpatient care, trauma/stroke/sepsis response, mental health care, and delivers procedural sedation at the bedside. On any given day, a nurse might assist with a fracture reduction for an adult skier, stabilize a pediatric patient experiencing an asthma exacerbation, resuscitate an unresponsive stroke victim, or provide life-saving care to a respiratory or cardiac arrest patient. Each day brings new challenges and wonderful patients making our shifts engaging as we always learn something new and cutting edge each day.
