FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 14, 2025, Dover, NH — Recently, DMC Primary Care and Derry Imaging Center marked the grand opening of their newest offices at 15 Durham Road with an open house and ribbon cutting ceremony. The event was open to the public and hosted in partnership with the Dover Chamber of Commerce, Nickerson Designs, Summit Land Management and other medical practices located in the newly-built healthcare facility.
The ceremony drew a large crowd of local residents, business leaders, and healthcare professionals. Among featured speakers were Margaret Joyce, President of the Greater Dover Chamber of Commerce; Dover Mayor Robert Carrier; and senior leaders from DMC Primary Care, Derry Imaging Center, and the medical practices housed on-site. Mayor Carrier presented DMC and Derry Imaging Center with a Proclamation from the City of Dover which included,
“DMC and Derry Imaging stand as pillars of independent healthcare in New Hampshire, committed to forming and maintaining long-term relationships with patients, their families, and the communities where they live and work.”
In his address to the crowd, DMC Primary Care CEO Malcolm Perry, a Rochester, NH native, expressed his enthusiasm for bringing expanded healthcare services to the Seacoast.
“This region has an urgent need for greater access to high-quality primary care and diagnostic imaging,” said Perry. “As someone who grew up just down the road in Rochester, I’m incredibly proud that DMC can help meet that need right here in Dover. In addition to our own teams, I would also like to recognize Chris Nickerson and Chad Kageleiry for providing the extraordinary vision and partnership needed to bring this facility to life.”
