(Opinion) The Merrimack Valley runs on trust, not just transactions
Today’s consumers don’t just want convenience. They expect it, whether it is speed, digital tools, quick answers, and the ability to do routine tasks from their phones.

Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health has received approval from the Lebanon Planning Board to build a five-story, $130 million patient tower – yet another major expansion to its campus.
The nearly 200,000-square-foot building, which will be located at the north entrance to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, would have space for 64 new patient beds with the potential to add 48 more beds. The medical center – by far the largest healthcare facility in New Hampshire – currently has 396 licensed beds.
The hospital has said it expects a 26-month construction schedule, with work beginning in the spring and slated for completion in the summer of 2022.
