Dartmouth Health Home Care, formerly known as Visiting Nurse and Hospice for Vermont and New Hampshire (VNH), will continue the organization’s long history of serving patients in the Upper Valley region. We've rebranded our home healthcare and hospice service to better align its mission as part of the overall health system.

Operating in more than 140 cities and towns, Dartmouth Health Home Care delivers excellence in nursing, rehabilitation, hospice, and personal care services with proven effectiveness, integrity and compassion.

“We are one of the largest home care and hospice providers in New Hampshire and Vermont, proudly providing excellent, personalized and value-based care to thousands of patients in their homes, from birth through the end of life,” said Tammy L. Tarsa, MBA, BSN, RN, CEO and president of Dartmouth Health Home Care. “Our longstanding commitment to the region is illustrated by an extensive network of partnerships, our strong presence in dozens of local communities and the positive outcomes we help patients and families achieve.”

Dartmouth Health Home Care collaborates within the system to keep healthcare costs manageable, avoid lengthy hospitalizations, and increase the wellbeing of patients by bringing medical services directly to their homes. Staff work directly with Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, Alice Peck Day Memorial Hospital, Valley Regional Hospital and Mt. Ascutney Hospital and Health Center, and plans to expand to other Dartmouth Health system members in the future.

Last week, we cut the ribbon at our new Claremont Addiction Treatment Program (ATP). Part of Valley Regional Hospital. The opening of this facility marks an important step in our mission to improve community health through accessible services and treatment for substance use disorder (SUD).

“Many people living with addiction recover when they have timely access to science-supported care,” said William Torrey, MD, chair of psychiatry at Dartmouth Health. “Recovery from SUD takes human connection and the support of community. That is why I am so excited today to be with the community that has gathered to celebrate the opening of the Claremont ATP.”

Our addiction services department launched in 2006, in the early days of the use of the medication buprenorphine to treat opioid misuse. Expansion of this program into the Claremont area allows improved access to area residents receiving treatment for SUD, who often have limited means of transportation.
