New Hampshire PT Tech FAQs

Common questions about Physical Therapy Technician careers in New Hampshire.

How does Dartmouth-Hitchcock's presence affect NH healthcare?

Dartmouth-Hitchcock in Lebanon is New Hampshire's only academic medical center and draws complex cases from across northern New England. PT Techs at D-H gain academic medicine exposure—research protocols, teaching, specialized care—unavailable elsewhere in the state.

How does Boston proximity affect southern NH PT careers?

Southern NH (Nashua, Salem, Derry) is effectively a Boston suburb. Many NH residents commute to Boston healthcare jobs. Local employers must offer competitive wages to retain workers. NH's lack of income tax adds financial appeal vs. Massachusetts.

Does New Hampshire's no income tax really help PT Techs?

Yes, significantly. NH has no income tax (except on investment income), effectively adding 5-6% to take-home pay compared to Massachusetts. Many healthcare workers live in NH, work in Boston, and benefit from both high wages and low taxes.

What's the job market like in NH's rural areas?

Northern NH (White Mountains region) faces healthcare worker shortages. Rural hospitals in Littleton, Berlin, and North Conway recruit with incentives. The outdoor lifestyle (skiing, hiking) attracts some workers willing to accept lower wages for quality of life.
