The answer to a broken healthcare system.
Why Choose Concierge Medicine?
Traditional medical models provide covered services under insurance that include office and home visits, telehealth visits, access to care, and medically necessary time with a primary care provider (PCP).
Struggles you may have encountered with traditional models include:
- Long wait times to get an appointment
- Difficulty reaching your provider
- Difficulty finding a provider to do home visits
- Transportation & parking challenges
Concierge Medicine incorporates a membership fee as well as billing insurance for covered services provided by the concierge provider. The benefits of the Concierge Medicine model are the ability to develop a unique relationship with your Provider and convenience in accessing covered services.
Hahn Health offers insurance covered services without the hassles involved in coordinating transport and scheduling a PCP visit with a provider in a busy medical office. Vanessa Hahn NP-C will provide personalized primary care services in the comforts of your own home. With a smaller patient panel, Vanessa can spend time getting to know you as a whole person, and customize care to focus on what is most important to you rather than the rushed generic experience you may have found associated with the traditional primary or urgent care office.

I feel your pain.
- When was the last time you called your primary care office multiple times and left more than 1 message before receiving a phone call in return?
- When was the last time your primary care provider's next available appointment was 3-6 weeks away?
- When was the last time you were advised to visit a walk-in or urgent care if you needed to be seen sooner than this?
- What about the last time you didn't feel rushed in your primary care office?
- The last time you understood options for a concern or what to expect from a new medication?
- When was the last time you felt ownership in a medical decision?
- How about the last time you were offered a visit in the comfort of your own home from your primary care provider?
Both patients and providers alike are fed up with the current system. This "traditional" model of healthcare places the primary focus on quantity rather than quality care. This is reimbursement/insurance driven primary care. A provider must document medical necessity in order to receive reimbursement for a specified amount of time spent or certain number of conditions addressed at each visit. Should this documentation lack support for said medical necessity, the provider may not get reimbursed at all. In this way providers often spend excess time documenting medical necessity rather than spending that time with the patient. This "traditional" model displaces the whole point of primary care... you, the patient.
Many insurance companies state that every beneficiary is entitled to and has direct access to a PCP, prompt referrals to specialists, home visits and "medically necessary" extra time with their provider. Now, ask yourself if you feel that you get all of these covered services with your current primary care office. Consider what that office would say if you requested a home visit next week.
The system is broken :(
The possibility of BETTER does exist.
- What if you received a return call from your primary care provider's office in 8-12 hours?
- What if you were able to see your primary care provider within a week or even a few days of your call?
- What if you could develop a unique relationship with a primary care provider whose focus was you?
- What if that provider could offer you convenience in accessing all those covered services?
Large facilities and cookie-cutter urgent cares do not want you to know that this can be achieved. I am sure you have heard the saying "if you want something you have never had you must do something you have never done." Becoming a member of Hahn Health could be the "never done" thing you need to do.
Why it all started.
My name is Vanessa Hahn and I have been a Nurse Practitioner in Primary Care for the past eleven years. Along my primary care journey there have been many challenges to face.
Over the past 3-4 years some of these changes, both locally and globally, have affected us all.
- The pandemic
- Local organizations being on the verge of bankruptcy
- New acquisition by other hospital groups
- Major staff shortages
With these challenges, I began to notice an evolution of focus in the primary care offices where I worked. There became a push to see more patients in less time. To encourage this push, there were incentive bonuses for seeing more and more patients more quickly. I recall receiving stern speeches about the drive to meet the numbers, and warnings that I was taking "too much" time with my patients.
Sadly, taking time with patient's no longer fits in the primary care system of today.
Then accessibility became a challenge.
I was forced to take on new patients despite the lack of availability for those patients already in my care. My patients would share how those extra moments typically spent in listening, teaching and including them in their own decisions made them feel truly cared for.
What my patients didn't see is that I was late for the next patients that were stacked into my schedule. They did not see that I was late every day to pick up my young children. They did not see that my extra time with them meant I had to login, finish notes, and answer messages that I had chosen not to write during their visits after putting my kids to bed each night. They did not see the strain this load was having on my personal wellbeing.
Every time I gave a young mother advise on the importance of taking time for herself or the impact high stress and lack of sleep and minimal exercise would have on her ability to care for those who depended on her long-term, the old adage of "do as I say, not as I do" would play in my mind. There had to be a better way...
A bit about my history in healthcare
I originally started my nursing career as an intern at LRGH in labor and delivery in 2008 and as an RN at the Ambulatory Surgical Center at the Laconia Clinic working pre-, intra- and post-operative nursing roles. I graduated Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences in 2013 and started working as a Nurse Practitioner in Plymouth New Hampshire.
After having my son, and wanting to be closer to home, I transferred to Lakes Region Family Practice in Laconia, until they closed their doors in June of 2023. It was at this time that I decided to embark on a journey seeking the possibility of something better. Better for my patients, better for my family and better for me. This is when I created Hahn Health.
I currently offer concierge in-home primary care services to those like-minded individuals who are also seeking a better alternative to the current broken healthcare system. My clients and I develop a unique relationship of mutual respect with a focus towards personalized convenience in accessing their insurance covered services. I prefer assisting patients in becoming active members of their own wellness and providing information and support to allow collaborative decision making along that journey.
My husband and I live locally and have two children that enjoy spending time in the outdoors of New England. Our adventures include white water rafting, canoeing, hiking, dirt biking, and simply mindfully enjoying our surroundings.
The outdoor images on this site are from places we have visited over the years in New England that hold peace and shared memories that will last a lifetime. I wish you and your loved ones good health and the opportunity to enjoy some of natures vast beauty.
In Good Health,
Vanessa Hahn APRN
