Inpatient Care

Whether having a baby, recovering from surgery or getting back on your feet after a heart attack, Portsmouth Regional Hospital offers state-of-the-art hospital care, delivered by caring professionals.

Quality Care

A team of professionals and support staff under the direction of our Hospitalist team or your personal physician will provide your care during your hospital stay. Physicians and nurses collaborate daily on your progress and discharge plan, working toward your speedy recovery.

Our Hospitalist program provides additional on-site physician coverage to further enhance the quality of inpatient care. Please visit the Hospitalist page of this Web site to learn more.

We are constantly working to enhance our service to you and your family. Our Quality Improvement Process involves every aspect of our operations, from patient care to accounting, housekeeping and medical records. The process encourages employees to constantly ask, "what can we do better?"
