Conroy, MDBusiness NH Magazine and the New Hampshire Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives (NHACCE) named Dartmouth Health one of its 2026 Business Leader, Nonprofit Leaders and Businesses of the Year in the healthcare category.

Conroy, MD, Dartmouth Health’s CEO and president. “This is our home, and the home for so many of our employees and patients. Our success isn’t just about a bottom line—it’s about our mission to keep our communities healthy and thriving and provide care close to their homes. On behalf of our health system, I want to thank Business NH and NHACCE for recognizing our efforts with this award, and express my pride and gratitude for our teams across New Hampshire and Vermont who made this possible.”
