Many folks probably don’t know that New London Hospital was organized during the First World War.  It was in 1918 that the six-bed hospital opened to the public in the building which now houses Tracy Memorial Library.  About five years later, a completely new building offering 12-beds was erected on Main Street; today this building is known as the Griffin House Condominium Association.  The current site (a gift of 50 acres from a summer resident) and the original building on County Road were dedicated in 1958.  In 2007, expansion continued with a 46,000 square foot addition, which was completed in 2009. “Today, New London Hospital is accredited by the State of New Hampshire as a 25-bed Critical Access Hospital, providing primary care, emergency and specialized clinical services to the community it serves, continuing its rich tradition of quality service and caring.” For our area, the value of a caring, committed and involved local hospital cannot be over-estimated.
