As we welcome the new year, SVMC is taking a moment to celebrate and highlight the providers who joined SVMC in 2024 (pictured above). From hospital medicine and emergency care to specialty services and family medicine, we are grateful to have welcomed 10 providers to the “weave” in 2024. The weave — as seen in SVMC's logo as a Dartmouth Health member hospital — represents the world class care woven into the fabric of our communities throughout the system. We look forward to sharing more with you soon on additional providers joining our team in 2025.
