Who We Are
With the mission of improving the health, wellness, and quality of life for all individuals in Strafford County, NH, the Strafford County Public Health Network works to build one integrated system of community members, businesses, and health organizations working together to address public health needs.
The Strafford County Public Health Network is representative of the following municipalities: Dover, Rochester, Durham, Somersworth, Barrington, Farmington, Milton, Lee, Strafford, New Durham, Rollinsford, Middleton, Madbury, and the University of New Hampshire.
We have wrapped up our Communities for Healthy Aging Transitions (CHAT) project with our partners at Strafford Regional Planning Commission (SRPC)! Check out our final report here to learn more about what we were able to accomplish over the life of this Point32 Health Foundation grant.
