Recognizing the need for a hospital facility, the town of Laconia raised the additional funding needed, and opended the Cottage Hospital on Court Street. The goal was to provide quality care for those in need, regardless of their ability to pay."

Dr. Nadeau.
"In 1961, Thomas and Charlotte moved to the Lakes Region of New Hampshire where he started private practice at the Laconia Clinic. Two years later, he completed construction of the Inter-Lakes Medical Center in Meredith and began his family practice. Working alongside his wife, Inter-Lakes provided care for the region’s residents for more than 35 years.
