Improving Community Health Is Complex

For many health care organizations or community partners:

  • It is challenging to keep up with massive amounts of health care data that changes constantly.

  • It is frustrating being so busy in your day-to-day role that you lack the bandwidth to address the problems you encounter.

  • Staying compliant with ever-changing regulations.

  • Maintaining health care quality in the face of financial challenges and workforce shortages can feel overwhelming.

At the Foundation for Healthy Communities

We know that innovative partnerships can develop the right tools and strategies to help individuals achieve their highest potential for health and well being in the communities where they live, work, learn and play.

Bringing Stakeholders Together to Address Community Health Needs

We achieve our mission of improving total population health through our dynamic partnerships between hospitals, medical providers, health plans, health care stakeholders, and community organizations and individuals.

 

FHC is the quality arm of the New Hampshire Hospital Association (NHHA). It therefore has a unique relationship with an advocacy-focused organization that can help direct policy changes that support our work.

A Message from our Executive Director

I am very much looking forward to reconnecting with our partners at our upcoming annual meeting. It is always a highlight for me to gather with such dedicated individuals who share our passion for advancing health care in New Hampshire.

 

This year, I will be particularly excited to share the innovative new work our organization has been undertaking, and to lift up our partners’ exceptional work in the field as well. The stories of impact, novel approaches, and commitment to caregiving provide inspiration, but also provide models that can be replicated throughout the state.

 

We are actively involved in statewide initiatives aimed at improving health and health care outcomes for all New Hampshire residents and their families. Our commitment to this mission drives everything we do. By fostering collaboration, leveraging our collective expertise, building on our achievements and embracing new opportunities, we are making meaningful strides towards a healthier future for all.

 

Be healthy, stay well!
