Massachusetts General Hospital and two New-Hampshire-based entities – Exeter Health Resources and Wentworth-Douglass Hospital – have signed a letter of intent to explore development of a regional non-profit corporation that will serve as the parent to Exeter and Wentworth-Douglass, and that will be a subsidiary of Mass General. The due diligence and regulatory review process is expected to take 15 to 18 months.
Exeter Health Resources consists of Exeter Hospital (100 beds), Core Physicians, and Rockingham Visiting Nurse Association & Hospice. The 178-bed Wentworth-Douglass Hospital of Dover, N.H. joined Mass General (999 beds) in 2017. Wentworth-Douglass also consists of several urgent care and walk-in facilities, multiple testing centers, Wentworth Health Partners (primary and specialty providers located at 30-plus practices), and the Wentworth-Douglass Foundation.
All three hospitals have received Magnet designation from the American Nurses Credentialing Center.
