Bill Glahn
Although he never expected to live in 
New Hampshire, Bill Glahn’s path took an 
unexpected turn when he was hired as 
an assistant attorney general in Concord 
by eventual U.S. Supreme Court Justice 
David Souter, beginning what is now a 50-
year career and life in the Granite State.
“When I graduated from the University 
of Chicago Law School,” recalls Glahn, a 
Connecticut native who has spent the 
last 44 years at McLane Middleton, where 
he is a partner, “the two things I thought 
I knew about myself were that I never 
wanted to live in a small city and I never 
wanted to be a trial lawyer.”
Both turns became pleasant surprises 
in his life, and Glahn and his wife, Hansi, 
came to appreciate the fact that they 
lived close to quality medical care and 
wanted to “give back to the community.” 
While his initial interest was charitable 
support to the Trust, Glahn’s deeper 
involvement with Concord Hospital, 
where he recently began a term as 
trustee of the Trust, began after he was 
diagnosed with prostate cancer and 
received treatment at the Payson Center 
for Cancer Care. Though he admits 
he previously “wondered whether we 
needed the cancer center in Concord,” his 
personal experience completely changed 
that perspective.
“I can’t say enough about the people 
who took care of me,” Glahn says, noting 
the convenience of receiving treatment 
close to home. “If I had to go to Boston or 
Hanover to get that radiation, it would’ve 
really changed my life, but I live two miles 
from the hospital and was able to receive 
treatment efficiently. I think most people 
don’t think about Concord Hospital 
Health System until they need it.”
His experience inspired Glahn to become 
more involved with the hospital. Before 
joining the Trust Board, he participated 
in Pedaling for Payson events for many 
years and provided testimonials about 
his patient experience. Beyond his new 
role with the Concord Hospital Trust, 
Glahn maintains an active presence in 
the community. He currently serves on 
the boards of New Hampshire Court 
Appointed Special Advocates and the 
Disability Rights Center in Concord. 
He’s also on an advisory board to the 
Grappone Humanities Institute at Saint 
Anselm College and previously served on 
the Concord School Board for 11 years.
Early in his tenure, Glahn is focused 
on listening and learning, with hopes 
to contribute to the hospital and the 
community during his term. He is 
grateful for the opportunity to serve a 
place that took such good care of him 
in a time of need.
“The fact that the Trust is a philanthropic 
arm of a major institution serving this 
community,” he says, “makes it a privilege 
to be on the board.”
