Dartmouth Health, New Hampshire's largest private employer, is laying off 100 employees and eliminating 300 open positions as part of efforts to close a $60 million budget deficit. CEO Dr. Joanne Conroy said cuts are concentrated in administrative and leadership layers to protect clinical roles. The health system cited rising operational costs, medical supply expenses, tariff pressures, and federal legislative headwinds as contributing factors. Two telehealth programs are also being discontinued as part of the broader cost-reduction strategy.
