Strafford County Legislative Breakfast
Friday March 28th from 7-9am at the Dover Elks Lodge #184 in Dover, NH
Basic needs, like housing, transportation and access to health care are imperative to the health and wellbeing of our communities. In Strafford County, these basic needs go unmet for some of our most vulnerable populations, oftentimes due to the cost burden. We can break down these barriers to wellness by advocating for comprehensive solutions, prioritizing funding streams and supporting evidence-based interventions that meet the diverse and complex needs of our communities.
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.
