Claremont Upper Valley Medical Supply Hub – Connecticut River & VT Route 131
Claremont anchors Sullivan County’s manufacturing revival, Valley Regional Hospital, Dartmouth Health outreach, Dartmouth-Hitchcock MedFlight, Sturm Ruger, Monadnock Family Services, and Vermont mutual-aid networks. Our LAC Health counter inside Walmart #1975 at 14 Bowen Street keeps Valley Regional, Dartmouth satellite clinics, Claremont Fire, Golden Cross Ambulance, NH Veterans Home outreach, and Okemo/Sunapee resort medical teams stocked without waiting on Lebanon or Boston freight.
Within 35 miles are Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, Mt. Ascutney Hospital, NH Veterans Home Tilton, Okemo Ski Medical, Sunapee Resort, River Valley Community College EMS, and the I‑91/VT‑131/NH‑12A logistics belt. Ice storms, spring freshet flooding, ski-season MCIs, and firearm manufacturing surges demand a “medical suppliers near me” counter fluent in twin-state ICS—this Claremont hub delivers.
Claremont transitioned from industrial mills to advanced machining, green tech, and regional healthcare staging. LAC Health supports that evolution with generator-backed cold storage, bilingual (English/Spanish) documentation, and workflows aligned with Upper Valley Healthcare Coalition, Sullivan County EM, and Vermont/New Hampshire mutual aid compacts.
