ABOUT THE FACILITY

Exeter Hospital is a 100-bed tax-exempt, community-based hospital and one of three affiliates of Exeter Health Resources.

At each of the affiliated companies, we are committed to providing health care services that are innovative, progressive, and focused on quality and the well-being of patients.

Exeter is a walkable, historical town. Buildings and sites within the town represent the best of the past and present of the seacoast area, New Hampshire, and the country as a whole.

We encourage you to visit and experience our community.

Exeter was originally settled in 1638 by Reverend John Wheelwright and has been an important location in the New England region ever since.

Exeter served as the revolutionary war capital of New Hampshire. In addition, Exeter functioned as a seaport in the late 1600's and early to late 1700's, primarily along what is now Swasey Parkway, at the mouth of the Squamscott River.

Exeter is home to many recreational areas and parks, and has many indoor and outdoor activities for families. Important town landmarks, like Philips Exeter Academy (PEA), Swasey Parkway, the Town Hall, Ladd Gilman House, Folsom Tavern, and the American Independence Museum, are great places to visit while in the area.
