Company History
The textile industry boom of the latter 1800’s brought a massive influx of working families to Claremont, NH. By 1886, the plight of Claremont’s working families with no hope of assistance or medical care could not be ignored. Women from local churches banded together to see what could be done, and assembled the Ladies Union Aid Society. By July 13, 1893, the citizens of Claremont assembled for the dedication of Cottage Hospital- the first of its kind in Sullivan County, and the third established hospital in New Hampshire.
Patient demand continued, and the need to expand the hospital again became apparent. In 1923, the expansion resulted in one of the most state-of-the-art facilities in New England, along with a name change from Cottage Hospital to Stowell Memorial Hospital. In 1942, the hospital became Claremont General Hospital, with updates to the operating suite and inpatient wings
An extensive renovation in 1982 provided a new wing that enabled Claremont General to accommodate the needs of the community and begin surrounding region of Sullivan County as well. To reflect this wider scope of care, the hospital became Valley Regional Hospital early in 1983.
Valley Regional Hospital has served the people of Claremont and surrounding towns for more than 100 years. Evolving with the needs of its patients, the hospital has grown from its humble start as Cottage Hospital to the modern healthcare center for excellence it is today.
