Our Level 1 Emergency Department is expanding to meet the needs of our rural New England region’s acutely ill patients requiring technical specialized procedures available only at our facility. The DH Emergency Department is slated to open a new 4 bed landing zone in November 2024. We are recruiting nurses with Critical Care, step down or Emergency nursing experience to join our team for this exciting new unit as we expand our ability to care for the patients in our region.
