Trauma Transfers

Please make all requests for transfers of an acute trauma patient by calling the toll-free, trauma Dartmouth-Hitchcock Advanced Response Team (DHART) line: (800) 650-3222.

A dedicated DHART communications specialist will answer your call and ask for your hospital call back number, the referring physician's name, and the patient's name.

Your call will then be forwarded to the Emergency Department (ED) attending trauma physician who is authorized to accept all appropriate trauma transfer requests.
