What began as a personal interest in 
ensuring access to good health care for 
his family has turned into more than a 
decade of service to Concord Hospital 
for David Salzberg.
Salzberg has called nearby Hopkinton, 
New Hampshire, home for 30 years, 
having chosen the town after relocating 
from New York, specifically because of its 
proximity to Concord Hospital. “We had 
a one-year-old daughter, and our son 
was born here two years later,” Salzberg 
explains. “We wanted to know there was 
a good health system nearby.”
Salzberg’s involvement with Concord 
Hospital began following a conversation 
with a doctor about healthcare 
funding. This led to a meeting with 
the advancement team, and Salzberg 
was invited to join the Planned Giving 
and Major Gifts Committee, a role he 
continues to this day. As a financial 
advisor at Merrill Lynch with 25 years of 
experience in international marketing 
for the software industry, Salzberg now 
shares his valuable expertise in his most 
recent role as a member of the Trust’s 
Board of Trustees.
In addition to his work with the hospital, 
Salzberg previously served as chair of 
the board of the Mt. Kearsarge Indian 
Museum in Warner, New Hampshire. 
Outside of his professional and volunteer 
work, he’s an avid jazz enthusiast who 
loves supporting live music. He and 
his wife enjoy visiting their two adult 
children out-of-state.
In discussing his motivation for joining 
the Trust Board, Salzberg points to 
the impact the charitable arm of 
the hospital has on the community, 
whether it’s the Trust providing 
additional funding for equipment 
or resources at a hospital-wide, 
departmental, or individual level. 
Salzberg is particularly impressed by 
the Trust’s innovative approach to 
patients’ healthcare challenges, citing 
examples that include funding a 
refrigerator for an insulin-dependent 
patient and an air conditioner for an 
individual with asthma — through the 
Navigating Forward Fund.
“These are non-traditional but creative 
ways to make people’s lives better,” he 
explains. “Health care should not just be 
available to people who have the 
means. It may be hundreds of dollars 
of expenses that might save thousands 
of dollars in emergency room visits 
or just prevent health problems from 
becoming crises. I’m encouraged by the 
tremendous amount of charitable care 
that’s paid for through philanthropy.”
Since joining the board in early 2025,
Salzberg has appreciated the camaraderie 
and dedication of his fellow members 
and the staff of the Trust, noting their 
strong commitment to funding the 
smallest to the largest needs of Concord 
Hospital Health System and its patients.
“These are people who take this work 
very seriously,” he says, “and work hard 
to communicate the importance and 
impact of what’s being done through 
philanthropy for our community.”
“I’m encouraged by the tremendous amount of 
charitable care that’s paid for through philanthropy.”
