Patient Rights and Privacy

We strive to preserve your rights as an individual. We also ask that you and your visitors be considerate of the rights of others.

Bill of rights

The Patients' Bill of Rights was first enacted into law as part of the Older Americans' Act of 1965. Following, NH codified its NH Patient's Bill of Rights in RSA 151:21. It applies to all individuals in hospitals, residential care facilities, nursing homes, and all other healthcare locations licensed under the provisions of RSA 151:21.

If you have questions about your rights as a patient, or if you would like a copy of the state statute that lists your rights, please contact the Compliance Office at Alice Peck Day Memorial Hospital at 603-308-0531 or at compliance@apdmh.org.

Learn about your rights and responsibilities as a patient at Alice Peck Day Memorial Hospital and Dartmouth Health.
