01. History

诺里斯棉花癌中心的历史

不rthern New Hampshire’s role as a center for medical research and patient care dates back to 1797, the year that Dartmouth College established its medical school. In order for the students to receive practical training, the 36-bed Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital was completed in 1893. In 1927, the staff formed the Hitchcock Clinic to provide multi-specialty patient care. These three entities, along with the Veterans Administration Hospital in White River Junction, Vermont, would eventually comprise the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, home of the Norris Cotton Cancer Center.

The Norris Cotton Cancer Center is largely the result of the vision and persistence of two men, Dr. Frank W. Lane and Senator Norris Cotton. As director of the Radiation Therapy Department at Mary Hitchcock Hospital during the 1960s, Dr. Lane recognized the need for a first-class cancer facility to treat patients from rural northern New England who might be unable or unwilling to make the long trip to Boston for their care. Dr. Lane secured funds to purchase advanced radiation therapy equipment but was unable to raise the cost of building construction until Senator Cotton took up the cause. In his role in the Department of Health, Education and Welfare’s Appropriations Subcommittee, the Senator obtained a $3 million appropriation from the National Cancer Institute to fund a new cancer facility at Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital.

The Norris Cotton Cancer Center at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in新罕布什尔is a multidisciplinary cancer care and research facility. In addition to its main campus, the center has four regional facilities and twelve affiliated hospitals in New Hampshire and Vermont. As one of 70 comprehensive cancer centers designated by the National Cancer Institute, Norris Cotton Cancer Center provides interdisciplinary team-based patient care, conducts a range of scientific and clinical cancer research, and sponsors classes and other educational opportunities. For more than 30 consecutive years, the center has received $3.1 million in core research funding from the国家癌症研究所每年。
