Life in the Upper Valley

A brief guide to local resources for DHMC residents, fellows,

and their families

WELCOME, PARTNERS! Welcome to DHMC and the Upper Valley! Anyone who is a significant other or spouse of a DHMC resident or fellow is considered to be a “DHMC partner.” You have access to many aspects of the DHMC and Dartmouth community (e.g., certain educational events, special discounts). Your resident or fellow will be busy getting adjusted and may not always remember to tell you (or know) what your options are. The DHMC House Staff & Partners Network is here to help you get connected to the community. The DHMC House Staff & Partners Network is a volunteer group of partners and spouses, working together with the GME Office and the House Staff Association dedicated to improving the quality of life of residents, fellows, and their families. From helping new partners find local employment to hosting social events throughout the year, we help people adjust to life in the Upper Valley. One of the resources we provide is this guide. In this document, previous partners share information about daily life, shopping, recreation, child care, and more. Whether you are interested in academics, families, social events, cultural activities, athletics, or community service, you will find an opportunity waiting for you here. We also have a community website and mailing list through Yahoo! groups. Our website is constantly being updated with more links, guides, and announcements for upcoming partner events. Be sure to visit the site and sign up as a member: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dhmcpartners

Although the information presented in this guide and on our website has been compiled from sources believed to be reliable, the Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center makes no guarantee as to, and assumes no responsibility for, the correctness, completeness or sufficiency of such information or recommendations. We are not intending to endorse one service over another and we have missed many things! We are continuing to add new listings and tips passed along from our partner members. If you find a resource or event that you would like included for next year, please feel free to send us a note! We look forward to meeting you. Welcome!
