Elliot Hospital, of Manchester, has been selected by the readers of Parenting New Hampshire as a “Family Favorite Hospital” award recipient.

The Family Favorite awards are a new award program that recognizes family-friendly businesses, services and places in more than 60 categories – as chosen by the readers of Parenting New Hampshire Magazine.

“It is always nice to get a vote of confidence and recognition from the community with an award such as this. The fact that we have been chosen for two consecutive years means a lot to us, and I’m thrilled the community views us as their favorite hospital,” said Doug Dean, President & CEO, Elliot Health System.

“The Family Favorites award program recognizes those places, people and things that make New Hampshire a great place to raise a family,” said Melanie Hitchcock, editor of Parenting New Hampshire.

The Family Favorite Awards voting took place online from June 1-July 31. The results of the readers’ poll will appear in the October 2012 issue of Parenting New Hampshire.
