Dr. Dana Merrithew has returned to his primary care roots, joining the patient care team at Speare
Primary Care.  Well known in the community, Dr. Merrithew has most recently been a familiar face as one of the hospitalists at Speare Memorial Hospital—a hospital-based physician responsible for coordinating a patient’s care in the hospital.

Trained as an internal medicine physician, Dr. Merrithew is certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine, with an additional certification in Geriatrics.   After earning both his bachelor’s and doctorate from Boston University, he completed his residency at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in Boston. Of particular clinical interest to Dr. Merrithew is helping patients with chronic disease management, including diabetes, COPD, and dementia.

“We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Merrithew to Speare Primary Care,” notes Practice Administrator Chuck Hulse.  “Specializing in geriatric medicine, and being a long-term resident of central New Hampshire, Dr. Merrithew brings another level of confidence and comfort to our patient population, and assuring their continuity of care.”

Located at Speare’s medical office building at Boulder Point in Plymouth, Speare Primary Care offers expanded care options for patients of all ages.  Adds Physician’s Assistant Britt McDonald, “This is the community where we live, work and play and it is important to people to have access to the care they need, when they need it, in the community where they live from providers they know. We offer that at Speare Primary Care.”  Speare Primary Care is accepting new patients.  Call 536-1881 to schedule an appointment.
