Specializes in Maternity, quality.

Have you contacted any of the local hospitals? From Merrimack you'd be convenient to Catholic Medical Center and Elliot Hospital (both in Manchester), Southern New Hampshire Medical Center and St. Joseph's Hospital in Nashua. Perhaps they can refer you to some local home health organizations.

Good luck and welcome to the Granite State!

Thanks, I wasn't sure which hospitals were located nearby. Do any of those hospitals have pediatric floors? We are really looking forward to some cooler (colder, lol) weather!

Here are a few websites you can check out... it seems that both Elliot and SNHMC have pediatric departments.

The closest childrens hospital would be in Boston. I'm not sure what your opinions are on commuting. A lot of people in this part of the state commute to Boston, so if it's something you're interested in:

There's also the Shriners Hospital in Boston, which is a burn center for children.
