Exeter Healthcare

Exeter Healthcare sits at 4 Alumni Drive in Exeter, NH, and covers a wide range of medical needs for patients and their families, and the place is pretty big, too, and you see that right away when you come in at the main entrance where signs point you to the Emergency Room, and you'll also notice extras like valet service, a gift shop, a cafe, and TVs in some waiting areas just to make the visit a bit easier while waiting for a doctor or checking in at the hematology desk or heading to one of the many clinics, and the Family Center for maternity care stands out with its special areas for labor, delivery, nursery, and pediatric care, as well as support for breastfeeding and parent education. The Center for Cancer Care is another focus, offering medical oncology, radiation and surgical options, wellness programs, genetic counseling, and a survivorship program with resources long after treatment ends, and they run cancer clinical trials, too. The facility handles just about anything: cardiac care in a heart and vascular center with its own device clinic, congestive heart failure clinic, and rehab programs; a Women's Health Program with services from normal checkups to obstetrics, gynecology, wound care, and mammography; a strong orthopedic and movement center for joint replacements that uses MAKO technology, shoulder surgery, and pre-surgery classes, and there's outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation for folks who need physical, occupational, speech, pediatric, or cancer rehab, plus aquatic therapy and pelvic floor therapy, which isn't easy to find everywhere. You get other specialties like rheumatology, urology-with procedures for BPH like Green Light Laser and UroLift-ENT care for hearing and sinus treatments, and even cochlear implants. There's a sleep medicine area for people struggling with sleep problems, and that includes EEG, CPAP help, and advice about sleep hygiene, and for lung problems or infections, they've got pulmonary and respiratory therapy as well as infectious disease care. Patients have a nourishment area, online patient portal for booking and paying, telehealth services for remote visits, and education for things like advance directives, and the emergency department offers urgent care for more serious issues, while the hospital medicine group handles inpatient care. For staffing, Exeter Healthcare values professional growth, runs things like the Nurse Residency, Periop 101, and Critical Care Fellowship, and has a short job application form for those interested. Walk-in interview days don't need appointments, and there are kiosks for on-site application, with jobs in nursing, allied health, and technical roles, and the facility pledges to support staff with reasonable accommodations while promoting an inclusive, diverse work environment. Leadership includes a President, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Medical Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Nursing Officer, and a Senior Director of Quality and Patient Safety, and there are reports and resources available for the community, so people can learn about community health and participate in advocacy and emergency preparedness efforts. Exeter Healthcare is a comprehensive hospital associated with Beth Israel Lahey Health Exeter Hospital, and they make a point of focusing on innovation, patient safety, and helping people recover with post-acute services and resources, so patients and families get consistent support before, during, and after major treatments and surgeries, even if the building's always busy and the range of services can be a lot to take in, but many people appreciate knowing they have this kind of place in their community when they need it.
