• Medical Weight Loss
  This randomized trial studies whether weight loss in overweight and obese women may prevent breast cancer from coming back. Previous studies have found that women who are overweight or obese when their breast cancer is found have a greater risk of their breast cancer recurring, as compared to women who were thinner when their cancer was diagnosed. This study aims to test whether overweight or obese women who take part in a weight loss program after being diagnosed with breast cancer have a lower rate of cancer recurrence as compared to women who do not take part in the weight loss program. This study will help to show whether weight loss programs should be a part of breast cancer treatment.
• Nutritional Counseling
  Below is a link to the HOPE Resource Center at Concord Hospital in Concord, NH. The HOPE center offers guidance, information and support programs to people affected by cancer. Services include:  social services, nutritional counseling, spiritual care and educational programs.
• Pediatric Care
  Primary Care Physician (PCP): a physician whose practice is devoted to family/general practice, pediatrics, internal medicine, and occasionally obstetrics/gynecology
• Primary Care
  Our patients are those who have already been diagnosed with cancer or blood-related disorders, and are referred to us by a primary care physician or other specialist. We frequently are contacted by individuals with concerns about their personal medical history or who are experiencing symptoms for which they are seeking screening or diagnostic testing. We strongly encourage these individuals to be seen by a qualified primary care physician or specialist, who can provide the appropriate diagnostic testing.

Internists

• Internal Medicine
• Bladder Cancer
  This randomized trial studies how well pembrolizumab works in treating patients with bladder cancer that has spread from where it started to nearby tissue or lymph nodes. Pembrolizumab blocks the PD-1 axis and can interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow.
• Colon Cancer
  This trial studies combination chemotherapy and atezolizumab to see how well it works compared with combination chemotherapy alone in treating patients with stage III colon cancer and deficient deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) mismatch repair.  Researchers are studying the combination of chemotherapy with atezolizumab and whether it works better than combination chemotherapy alone in treating patients with colon cancer.
• Endoscopy
  Throughout your cancer journey, you will likely encounter a large number of tests that aid in the diagnosis, staging or evaluation of disease progression.  These tests may be in the form of a laboratory test, biopsy, radiologic evaluation, endoscopy, etc....  Often, patients are evaluated at the time of their diagnosis and then at defined intervals throughout their treatment plan.Â
• Prostate Cancer
  Hormone therapy is used to treat certain cancers that depend on hormones for their growth. It works by keeping cancer cells from getting or using the hormones they need to grow. This treatment may include the use of drugs that stop the production of certain hormones or that change the way hormones work. Another type of hormone therapy is surgery to remove organs that make hormones. For example, the ovaries may be removed to treat breast cancer, or the testicles may be removed to treat prostate cancer.
• Cancer Care
  These treatments do not replace conventional cancer care and are not intended to treat cancer, but research suggests that certain types of complementary therapies may help manage symptoms and side effects and improve a person’s overall sense of well-being. The types of complementary therapies to cancer care that are reported to be the most helpful are:  prayer and spiritual practice, relaxation, faith and spiritual healing, and nutritional supplements and vitamins. CAM therapies have been used to manage side effects caused by cancer or cancer treatment and to help patients comfort themselves and ease the worries of cancer treatment and related stress.  Often times, patients that practice CAM feel  that they are doing something more to help with their own care.
• Lung Cancer
  NCI has helped launch the Pragmatica-Lung Study, a phase 3 randomized clinical trial of a two-drug combination to treat patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The simplified trial design aims to increase accessibility for participants.

Psychiatrists

• Mental Health
  If we have PHI about you regarding communicable diseases, disease testing, alcohol or substance abuse diagnosis and treatment, or psychotherapy and mental health records (super-confidential information under the law), we will not disclose it under the General or Healthcare Treatment, Payment and Operations Rules (see above) without your first signing and properly completing our Consent form (i.e. you specifically must initial the type of super-confidential information we are allowed to disclose). If you do not specifically authorize disclosure by initialing the super-confidential information, we will not disclose it unless authorized under the Special Rules (see above) (i.e. we are required by law to disclose it). If we disclose super-confidential information (either because you have initialed the consent form or the Special Rules authorizing us to do so), we will comply with state and federal law that requires us to warn the recipient in writing that re-disclosure is prohibited.

Radiologist

• Radiology
  Once your referring physician has called, our New Patient Coordinator will schedule your first appointment with a NHOH physician and collect the necessary information for your visit (pathology reports, radiology films, lab results, etc.). Our New Patient Coordinator will then send you our Patient Introduction Packet. We encourage you to review this, which will familiarize you with our practice and staff, our care philosophy, mission and values, and other helpful details. You will also receive a phone call prior to your first visit to complete the New Patient Registration and to see if you have any financial concerns.
• X-Rays
• Computed Tomography
  You will leave this appointment with your physician’s recommendations and workup for your treatment plan. Your physician may order blood tests to be taken that day. If so, we have laboratories conveniently located onsite. If other testing is ordered by your physician such as X-Rays, CT scans or PET scans, our office staff will schedule those tests for you.
• Chemotherapy
  However, if they discover that they require a refill, but do not have an office visit pending, we request that they call our office several days in advance of running out of medication. Some prescriptions can be refilled with a phone call to the pharmacy and we will take care of that within 24-48 (business) hours of a request for a refill. Other medications, such as pain medicines or oral chemotherapy, require a written prescription. We have a direct line dedicated to prescription refills:  603-232-8903
• Radiation Therapy
  Radiation therapy (also called radiotherapy) uses high-energy rays to kill cancer cells in a targeted area. Similar to surgery, radiation therapy is a local treatment used to eliminate or eradicate visible tumors. Radiation can be given externally by a machine that aims radiation at the tumor area. It can also be given internally; needles, seeds, wires, or catheters containing a radioactive substance are placed directly in or near the tumor. Radiation treatments are painless. The side effects are usually temporary, and most can be treated or controlled. Patients are likely to feel very tired, especially in the later weeks of treatment. Radiation therapy may also cause a decrease in the number of white blood cells, which help protect the body against infection.  External radiation delivers high-energy rays directly to the tumor site from a machine outside the body. Internal radiation, or brachytherapy, involves the implantation of a small amount of radioactive material in or near the cancer.
