Cheshire Medical Center is the only hospital in Cheshire County, New Hampshire, United States. The 115-bed hospital is located in the city of Keene, the Cheshire County seat.[1] It is part of the Dartmouth–Hitchcock health care network.[2]
It was built in 1973 and replaced the Elliot Community Hospital on Main Street which had served as the city's hospital since 1892.[3][4]
Chesire Medical Center is listed as one of several rural hospitals at risk of closure due to recent budget cuts under the Trump Administration[5][6][7]
