Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending - Construction - Dartmouth Hitchcock Clinic (DHC) in Nashua is a multispecialty group practice with providers across 26 different specialties. The Nashua facility opened in 2011, and thirteen years later, it is nearly full capacity. Endocrinology is a growing medical specialty, yet one without a presence at DHC in Nashua. Endocrinologists provide specialized care and treatment of patients with diabetes, diseases of the pancreas, and other endocrine systems such as the thyroid, pituitary gland, and adrenal glands. These diseases may include but are not limited to: Hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, Pituitary diseases, hormone abnormalities, Reproductive disorders, Osteoporosis, Diabetes and Lipid metabolism. Approximately 113,110 people in New Hampshire, or 10.1% of the adult population, have diagnosed diabetes. An additional 29,000 people in New Hampshire have diabetes but don’t know it, greatly increasing their health risk. The serious complications include heart disease, stroke, amputation, end-stage kidney disease, blindness and death. Every year an estimated 9,505 people in New Hampshire are diagnosed with diabetes. Dartmouth Hitchcock Clinic Nashua is requesting funding to renovate and construct a new outpatient/ambulatory clinical pod of 3 exam rooms and 2 consult rooms for a new team of Endocrinology providers to provide greater access to care.
