Why Work Healthcare Jobs in New Hampshire?
Whether you live there or you're looking to travel, New Hampshire has a lot to offer. A small state with huge charm just up the highway from Boston, the Granite State is known for its outdoor beauty, tax-free shopping, and world-class seafood.

> Build relationships and experience
Obviously, ranking as America’s #1 state for quality of care is good news for the people who live in New Hampshire.

> Work in positive and productive environments
Working in facilities with a high standard of outcomes can also translate into a more meaningful job experience — and one that focuses more on the aspects of care you find rewarding.
Plus, New Hampshire is a state where the population is growing at a rate that does “not outpace" healthcare so facilities are less likely to be understaffed.

- Work in pediatrics? Almost half of New Hampshire’s Medicaid patients are children, helping ensure a solid future in pediatric care.
