Welcome to NHHA
The New Hampshire Hospital Association (NHHA) is dedicated to providing leadership through advocacy, education, and information to support our hospital members and health care systems.

A Message From Our President
While this season invites cozy weather, delicious meals and time spent with family and friends, it also offers an important moment for reflection. As we gather and look toward the year ahead, we have the opportunity to recognize the progress we’ve achieved and acknowledge the challenges that remain. It’s a time to reaffirm our shared commitment to advancing high-quality care in every hospital and health care system in every community.
Across our state, hospitals are facing unprecedented challenges – rising costs, workforce shortages, barriers to discharge, insurance delays and increased demand for health care services overall. Yet amid these pressures, our members remain steadfast in their commitment to providing high-quality, compassionate care to every patient who walks through their doors.
Our Association is focused on supporting that mission. NHHA has deepened its already strong commitment to members by developing additional tools and championing advocacy work that ensures health care professionals are heard. I am proud of how New Hampshire’s hospitals continue to innovate and collaborate in a rapidly evolving health care landscape, and I am pleased we are able to be a partner in their efforts.
Our priority is to ensure hospitals are equipped not just for today’s demands, but for tomorrow’s opportunities. We are committed to building a health care system that is even stronger, more connected and more prepared for the future.
I know that together we can make the year ahead a time of progress, growth and meaningful impact. Thank you for your support of our hospitals and the vital work they do every day. With a shared purpose and dedication, we will continue moving health care forward.
Be healthy, stay well!

Medical Solutions Increase Efficiency to Do More with Less
The pandemic may be diminishing, but the crunch for skilled clinicians remains. The demand for quality nurses still outstrips supply, making hiring and retaining staff a challenge. While a managed services provider (MSP) cannot directly solve the supply and demand issue, it can dramatically increase hiring efficiency, and allow facilities to do more with less. Our new video illustrates how.
A dedicated staffing partner can help reduce the burden of many hiring tasks. If you’re interested in learning more about how Medical Solutions’ MSP can address your contingent staffing initiatives, connect with Mike Daeges at 402.986.5153 or [email protected].

Maintaining a 99% client retention rate, Medical Solutions provides innovative staffing support in partnership with our hospital and health system clients. Our organic growth, along with strategic acquisitions such as FocusOne Solutions and Aureus Medical, strengthens Medical Solutions for a combined 70+ years of healthcare staffing experience. This makes us “better together.”
Services Provided
Our MSP program was launched as a response to the changing landscape in temporary healthcare staffing and the growing need for healthcare systems to take a more quality-focused approach to contract staffing. Our MSP is a comprehensive, wrapround service designed to deliver quality candidates and whole-house program management in a stressed labor market. Our Hybrid Recruiting Model is “vendor competitive.” We utilize the resources of over 400 internal recruiters and over 500 network affiliates on our vendor panel. This ensures that all resources are deployed immediately to find staff that it is not only the best clinical and cultural fit, but also 100% licensed and compliant for all your requests. This approach has helped us to achieve a 95% traveler completion rate among our MSP clients.
