Life in Nashua
The cost of living in New Hampshire is one of the lowest in New England, with no state income tax or sales tax. Location desirability and economic expansion has transformed this once-small mill town into New Hampshire's second-largest city after Manchester, with a diverse population of more than 175,000 people.
Nashua and the Greater Nashua region offers a wide array of ethnic foods and entertainment, as well as other attractions such as the historic downtown area, the Nashua Pride professional baseball team, the Spartan’s Drum and Bugle Corps, the Nashua Symphony and the Northern Ballet. Nashua and surrounding areas offer a selection of excellent public, private and parochial schools.
Dartmouth-Hitchcock in Nashua
For more than 35 years, and as the first charitable physician group in the community, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Nashua (previously known as Matthew Thornton Health Plan) has committed itself to the health care needs of the greater Nashua area. Today, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Nashua is a dynamic physician-led organization with more than 100 providers, with two multi-specialty group practices in Nashua and primary care sites in the surrounding communities of Milford, Merrimack and Hudson. The growing Dartmouth-Hitchcock health care system includes the nationally recognized teaching and research care facility, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, 90 miles north in Lebanon.
All Nashua-area locations offer same-day appointments. Patients and providers benefit from convenient in-house lab and x-ray services, an Urgent Care Center for evening and weekend care, and recently expanded radiology services including Bone Density testing (DEXA), MRI and CT services. As a multi-specialty group practice, an array of primary and specialty services is available. We also have outpatient tertiary services, including reproductive endocrinology and infertility services provided by specialists who travel from Lebanon.
Dartmouth-Hitchcock Nashua is part of the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Clinic, which includes four major group practice locations: Concord, Keene, Manchester and Nashua. All have a sophisticated electronic medical records system and a self-insured, well-organized risk management and liability system, making it one of the premier health systems in New England.
