Our History
New Hampshire Oncology-Hematology, PA (NHOH)
was founded in 1976 by Dr. A. Collier Smyth. Trained at the renowned
National Cancer Institute, Dr. Smyth was the first board-certified
oncologist in community practice in New Hampshire. His vision was to
bring world-class oncology and hematology care to New Hampshire.
NHOH has remained dedicated to that vision of excellence, innovation
and research-driven advances in medical care. As an example, in 2007
NHOH earned national recognition as one of only 10 community
oncology practices in the country to be honored with the Clinical
Trial Participation Award presented by the American Society of
Clinical Oncology. Every member of our team is committed to leading
the way to bring the most progressive and effective treatments to
our patients right here, in their own communities.
The task of caring for people with serious and complex illnesses
cannot be accomplished by any individual alone; it requires a team
working together. Today our team consists of more than 100 staff
members including 11 board-certified or board-eligible
oncologists/hematologists, a board-certified internist who is NHOH’s
hospitalist, physician assistants, certified oncology nurses,
clinical pharmacists, pharmacy technicians and a specialized patient
advocate. Visit the
Staff section of our website for an introduction
to many of these dedicated health-care professionals.
Locations
NHOH is a medical group practice with six
locations throughout the central and southern New Hampshire
region. Our locations are in Hooksett, serving greater Manchester,
and in Concord, at the Eugene and Anne Slusser Medical Oncology
Suite at the
Payson Center for Cancer Care at Concord Hospital.
For the convenience of our patients, we provide care in Exeter at
Exeter Hospital, Laconia at
Lakes Region General Hospital, Franklin at
Franklin Regional Hospital, and in Londonderry at the
DFCI/NHOH Office.
The care of patients with cancers or diseases of the blood requires
the coordination of treatment planning among a network of physicians
and institutions. At NHOH, we work closely with surgeons, radiation
oncologists, and primary care physicians. We maintain close
collaborative relationships with area community hospitals including:
Elliot Hospital and
Catholic Medical Center in Manchester,
Concord Hospital,
Exeter Hospital,
Lakes Region General Hospital in Laconia, and Franklin Regional Hospital. In
addition, we are a clinical affiliate of the
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and work closely with the major
regional teaching hospitals and cancer centers.
Clinical Research
In order to make the most up-to-date care available to our patients,
we have a vigorous clinical research program at all of the NHOH
practice sites. A full description of the meaning of clinical
research, as well as the types of research projects and clinical
studies we are conducting, can be found in the
Research section of
our website.
Our Patients Come First
At New Hampshire Oncology-Hematology, PA our patients come first.
Our team works together to improve the health of our patients and
their families with compassion and respect. We hope that the other
sections of this website will give you more information about the
many resources NHOH has available to help individuals and families with cancer or blood diseases.
We are here to provide expert and compassionate care throughout the
entire journey.
