Why are we so unique? We are a nationally recognized Academic Medical Center in the middle of the White Mountains of New Hampshire.

This means you can be a happy nurse with more quality time with friends, family, pets, or maybe just quiet hikes by yourself. Our idea of traffic is a line at the chair lift on the ski mountain.
