Upper Connecticut Valley Hospital

Upper Connecticut Valley Hospital (UCVH) is a Critical Access Hospital serving rural communities in New Hampshire's North Country. Founded in 1970 and based in Colebrook, New Hampshire, it provides healthcare to residents of approximately 20 communities, a population of some 8,500 people, with a catchment area that extends into Vermont and Maine.

The hospital delivers a broad range of services from a single regional site: emergency care, primary care for families and individuals, behavioural health and addiction services, rehabilitation, diagnostic imaging, laboratory testing, pharmacy, and various specialty medical services. The combination of acute, diagnostic and outpatient capabilities in a rural setting means clinical staff work across disciplines rather than within narrow specialisms.

UCVH states that its core values are stewardship, community involvement, respect, integrity, compassion and excellence in healthcare delivery. Its stated aim is to improve the well-being of rural communities and to ensure that rural residents have access to quality medical services close to home.
