LRGHealthcare (the Institution) is a New Hampshire not-for-profit corporation that owns and operates two hospitals and their affiliated programs and services in the Twin Rivers and Lake Winnipesaukee regions of NH approximately 90 miles north of Boston, MA. The Institution is the corporate name for the healthcare system comprised of Lakes Region General Hospital (LRGH) and Franklin Regional Hospital (FRH). LRGH is located in Laconia, New Hampshire.

FRH, designated as a critical access hospital under Medicare, is a 35 bed community hospital serving the Greater Franklin, New Hampshire community. On July 1, 2002, LRGH merged with FRH to become LRGHealthcare (The Institution). The Institution offers a broad range of medical, surgical, specialty and sub-specialty services to adults, children, and infants. As a community-based institution, the Institution offers all the inpatient services of an acute care, community hospital system.

Traditional services include: medical, surgical and pediatric care, psychiatric services, skilled nursing care, intensive care, obstetrics/gynecology, clinical laboratory services, nutrition services, pharmacy services, radiology services (including CT, MRI, PET/CT and nuclear medicine), rehabilitation services (physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy), cardiopulmonary/respiratory services, patient education services, chaplaincy, and patient/family (social) services. LRGH also has established a physician hospitalist program and intensivists program to accept referrals in a more streamlined fashion and facilitate efficiencies in inpatient care. Total acute inpatient admissions were 3,917 during fiscal year ending September 30, 2019. The Institution maintains swing beds at both LRGH and FRH. Swing beds are acute care licensed beds that can be used as nursing home beds and provide the Hospitals with additional reimbursement for their senior or other long-term patients. Both LRGH and FRH are eligible to maintain swing beds. Total swing bed admissions were 218 during fiscal year ending September 30, 2019. LRGH is a state designated level 3 trauma center.

The most significant facilities include: the Laconia Clinic (the Clinic) is a 26-physician provider-based department (under Medicare) of LRGH located less than one mile from the main Laconia campus. The Clinic and LRGH operating agreements benefit the community by preserving and enhancing access to a broad range of benefits and medical services. Both entities believe that the concept has provided community benefits and efficiencies and also offered opportunities to more effectively advance quality healthcare, including outcomes. The major components of the Clinic in Laconia, NH consist of a two operating room ambulatory surgical center and ancillary services including laboratory, X-ray, and physical therapy.

ASC provides an alternate location for patients requiring one-day orthopedic surgeries (such as hand, wrist, knee, and shoulder), ENT surgeries, as well as pain management services. The services offered by ASC are designed to complement the broader range of inpatient and outpatient surgical services available at LRGH. Also at the Hillside Medical Park location is approximately 29,000 square feet of space, owned by the Institution, where it operates a sleep lab, outpatient rehabilitation for the Laconia region, an occupational health program, and a primary care physician practice.
