After business hours (nights, weekends, and holidays), journalists should call the main Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center switchboard at 603-650-5000 and ask for the Media Relations representative on-call, reachable on pager 6115.
Patient privacy is a priority at Cheshire Medical Center as well as at all Dartmouth Health member organizations. In order to protect patient confidentiality within federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) guidelines, all members of the news media will be escorted by a member of the Marketing and Communications staff while visiting our facilities.
The Marketing and Communications team will also facilitate interviews with our providers and staff unless prior arrangements are made and agreed upon.
