- As the state moves ahead with layoffs, the closing of a New Hampshire Hospital unit is raising concerns not only for workers but for patients. Hospital director Paula Mattis told employees Tuesday that a unit that serves brain injury patients will close by month's end. Workers will be laid off or reassigned and patients will be discharged or transferred. Steven Wade, director of the Brain Injury Association of New Hampshire, says he was shocked by the news because there is no other similar program for people with brain injuries and psychiatric illness. And he said the demand for such services is growing, given the traumatic brain injuries American soldiers have been suffering overseas.
