Lebanon sits on the east bank of the Connecticut River in Grafton County.

Eastern Royal Medical Transport

Planning medical transport to or from Lebanon, New Hampshire

A pickup near Colburn Park downtown starts on different streets than one along NH-12A in West Lebanon or on the medical center campus. Hanover, Enfield, and Plainfield are New Hampshire towns with their own roads to I-89, and Norwich and White River Junction lie across the river in Vermont.

Tell Eastern Royal Medical Transport which part of Lebanon the pickup is in, the day the discharge or move is expected, entrance and parking details at each end, and who will be there to help on arrival. A start on NH-12A in West Lebanon reaches I-89 at exit 20, while the medical center is reached from exit 18, so the opening miles differ. The final route is confirmed with the quote.

This service is for scheduled, non-emergency ground transportation. It is not an ambulance or emergency-response service; call 911 when immediate medical help is needed.

Example long-distance routes from Lebanon

Main corridors: I-89, I-91, NH-120, NH-12A.

Seasonal travel considerations

Lebanon averages about 72 inches of snow a year, so a winter discharge or move from December through March goes best with a spare day on either side. Check the forecast for the Upper Valley and the first stretch of I-89 and I-91 before the date is set.

For discharge planners and case managers

Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center is the flagship of the Dartmouth Health system, on a 225-acre campus just south of the Hanover line, so name the building, the unit, and the entrance where the rider will wait. Alice Peck Day Memorial Hospital is a separate community hospital in Lebanon, so confirm which one before the day is set.

Lebanon trip questions

Which way does a trip from Lebanon head toward New York City or Philadelphia?

I-89 crosses the Connecticut River and meets I-91 at White River Junction, and I-91 leads south toward Connecticut. From Lebanon, Syracuse is about 260 road miles, New York City 270, Scranton 310, and Philadelphia 360. The coordinator confirms the route and the timing with the quote.

Can the pickup be in Hanover, Enfield, or across the river in Vermont?

Yes. Hanover lies north on NH-120, Enfield lies east along US-4 and Mascoma Lake, and Norwich and White River Junction lie across the Connecticut River in Vermont. For a hillside or country home, send the road name, a nearby landmark, and whether the driveway is plowed and level in winter.

How should a family plan around winter weather in the Upper Valley?

Choose a travel date that can move by a day, especially from December through March. Watch the National Weather Service forecast for Grafton County and for the road ahead, and tell the coordinator early if a storm looks likely so a new window can be found.
