Amherst Route 101A Medical Supply Hub – Merrimack Valley & Nashua Gateway
Southern New Hampshire’s fastest growing corridor stretches from Nashua’s hospitals to Amherst industrial parks, Hollis farms, and BAE Systems campuses. Our LAC Health counter inside Walmart #1796 at 85 NH‑101A supports St. Joseph Hospital, Southern NH Medical Center, Dartmouth Health Nashua clinics, AMR/Merrimack EMS, NH Air National Guard, LaBelle Winery event teams, and Merrimack manufacturing without relying on Boston warehouses.
Within 25 miles are St. Joseph Hospital Level II trauma, Southern NH Medical Center Heart & Vascular, Dartmouth Hitchcock Nashua, Elliot Hospital Milford ER, Saint Anselm campus, Manchester-Boston Regional Airport, and the Everett Turnpike/I‑293 triangle. Snow squalls, PFAS mitigation work, 101A traffic, and robotics/semiconductor surges demand a “medical suppliers near me” counter tuned to Granite State ICS—this Amherst hub delivers.
Amherst blends historic village life with advanced manufacturing, defense tech, agritourism, and commuter healthcare needs. LAC Health honors that diversity with generator-backed cold rooms, bilingual (English/Spanish) documentation, and workflows aligned with Hillsborough County Emergency Management, Southern NH Healthcare Coalition, and Merrimack Valley mutual aid.
