LEBANON After a rocky spring when the COVID-19 pandemic first hit and revenue plummeted, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health saw its operating margin climb back into the black for the quarter ending Sept. 30 thanks to federal stimulus payments.
Daniel Jantzen, the Lebanon-based health system’s CFO, described its $13.9 million, or 2.2% margin for the first three months of its 2021 fiscal year as a “dramatic recovery” from losses that occurred earlier in the coronavirus pandemic, in a filing with bondholders late last month.
The system previously reported an operating loss of $84 million on a total operating budget of $2.4 billion for the fiscal year that ended June 30.

Jeff Lightizer had no plans of slowing down anytime soon. Aside from getting into a few bad car accidents, he was a perfectly healthy 59-year-old man who says he never smoked, and only indulged in the occasional beer. He was happy with his life as it was, crossing the border each morning from his home in Plaistow, to work at a manufacturing company in Massachusetts.
When the pandemic hit, Lightizer did everything the experts recommended.
He wore a mask everywhere, stayed 6 feet apart from those outside his household, and even wore gloves at work.
That’s why, he says, it doesn’t make much sense what happened to him this summer.
