Dr. McKenzie brings a diverse and impressive background to his new role. In his role as Chief Medical Officer, Dr. McKenzie will continue to assist with integration planning for our proposed affiliation with Dartmouth Health.

As we continue to commemorate the 25th anniversary of relocating to 600 St. Johnsbury Road, we reflect on the growth we have experienced in those years. From a small community hospital to a regional hub of healthcare, we see the impact when comparing patient volumes from then to now.

For example, in those early years of our current Emergency Department, the annual total number of visits was 8,298. In 2025, our Emergency Department experienced 11,207 total visits in addition to 22,206 visits between our two Urgent Care locations. Remember, Urgent Care did not exist in our area 25 years ago, so those patients would likely have sought care in our Emergency Department or waited to be seen by their P*P.

When you compare 8,298 to 33,413, that is significant growth!

We are pleased to announce that Dr. Jeffrey Kauffman, Orthopedic Surgeon and Sports Medicine Provider, has achieved the 2026 Top Doctor designation by New Hampshire Magazine. Dr. Kauffman joined LRH in 2013 and has received this recognition for over ten years.

New Hampshire Magazine again selected a national research firm, Castle Connolly, to conduct the 2026 Top Doctors process. Castle Connolly’s established nomination survey, research, screening, and selection process involves hundreds of thousands of physicians, academic medical centers, specialty hospitals, and regional and community hospitals throughout the country. All licensed physicians in America can nominate fellow physicians in any medical specialty. Then, Castle Connolly’s physician-led team of researchers follows a rigorous screening process to select top doctors from the nominations submitted at both the national and regional levels.

The 2026 honorees include 650 doctors, as nominated by their peers, who cover a wide range of medical needs from pediatrics to surgical care.

“This honor is a testament to Dr. Kauffman’s exceptional skills and vast clinical knowledge,” noted Robert Nutter, President and Chief Executive Officer of Littleton Regional Healthcare. “It speaks volumes when your peers distinguish you as a leader in your field. We are fortunate to have Dr. Kauffman here at LRH to deliver the high-quality care our patients deserve,” he added.

Join us in recognizing our most recent recipient of The BEE Award - Rob Stowell 🐝

The BEE Award for Exceptional Caregivers was established to complement our DAISY Award, which is specific to nursing. Standing for "Being Extraordinary Every Day," any care team member can be nominated for The BEE Award. Both the DAISY and BEE Awards are presented quarterly, and nominations are accepted from patients, community members, and LRH personnel.

Rob is a dedicated member of our Security Department. He's best known for being on standby with a wheelchair when someone presents at our Emergency Department/Main Entrance. He also plays a key role in maintaining a safe and healing environment for our patients, visitors, and workforce. Whether he's responding to a code situation, lending a helping hand in an inpatient unit, or meeting a patient arriving for care, he's known for being a confident, knowledgeable, and reassuring presence.

Rob's nomination came from a patient's daughter. She said Rob always goes out of his way to offer assistance when they arrive at LRH and need a wheelchair, and again when they are ready to depart. She said Rob's "gentle manner, cheerful attitude, and warm smile" make every hospital visit easier, and her elderly father looks forward to seeing him.

Congratulations, Rob! Thank you for demonstrating our core values in every interaction and for being such a valued member of LRH.

This winter has taken an unexpected toll on sections of our exterior walking surfaces. Please use caution on stairs, walkways, and other uneven surfaces, especially during inclement conditions.
