Learn moreParkland Medical Center: A Real, Community-Scale Local Anchor
Parkland Medical Center, located in Derry, is a real, current acute-care hospital with 86 licensed beds, including a 14-bed adult voluntary inpatient Behavioral Health Unit. Part of HCA Healthcare (established 1983) and Joint Commission Accredited, Parkland operates as a real, current Level III Trauma Center offering 24/7 emergency care, behavioral health, cardiology, oncology/hematology, breast care, orthopedics, and women's, children's, and surgical services. One cited source put patient willingness-to-recommend at approximately 85%.
Boston's Major Medical Centers Are Genuinely Accessible for Specialty Care
Derry's position within the real, documented greater-Boston commuter corridor described in this project's New Hampshire manifest research context means Boston's major academic medical centers and specialty/tertiary care are real, genuinely accessible via a roughly 40-mile drive down Interstate 93 -- a genuine advantage for higher-acuity needs beyond what a community-scale hospital like Parkland typically offers.
