Our staff represents a broad level of expertise and experience in community and individual engagement and planning, project management, data systems, clinical-community partnerships, and collective impact. The FHC has collaborated with a broad range of organizations such as NH Department of Health and Human Services, NH Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, NH Council of Churches, and NH Department of Transportation. One of the Foundation's strengths is to engage and lead diverse partners in new forms of collaboration. The FHC serves as the catalyst and backbone for its various initiatives, and assists those partners in collaborations that elevate their collective impact. In addition, the Foundation has the benefit of facilitating program integration for the benefit of the communities served by housing its diverse group of programs and staff in one location, streamlining processes, and opening pathways for collaborations. Descriptions of a few of our current programs are below.NH Partnership for Patients Since starting work in 2011 with the Partnership for Patients, a national initiative aimed at improving patient safety and quality of care, New Hampshire hospitals have achieved significant results in patient safety and quality improvement.Patient & Family Engagement The Foundation continues its work with hospitals to help create a culture of patient and family engagement and establish patient and family advisory councils (PFACs) to enhance the delivery of patient and family-centered care throughout the continuum.NH Health Care Quality Assurance Commission Established in 2005, this Commission was reauthorized in 2016 through 2021, to review and analyze quality of care and patient safety issues in hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers.Rural Quality Improvement NetworkThe Foundation provides a broad array of resources to enhance the sharing of best practices for regulatory compliance, quality improvement and patient experience among New Hampshire's Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs).NH Comprehensive Cancer Collaboration (NHCCC)This partnership of individuals and organizations works together to eliminate cancer, the leading cause of death in the state, by implementing the NH Cancer Control Plan.Healthy Eating Active Living (HEAL NH) This program has many components including Healthy Food Access, Active Living, Active Transportation, and Active Recreation which help improve access to healthy foods and opportunities for physical activity, focusing on communities and populations with the greatest health disparities.NH Health & Equity PartnershipThe Partnership seeks to strengthen health services and educate the public on health equity issues to help build equitable, healthier communities.Community Falls Prevention ProgramThis program has increased access to evidence-based fall prevention programs for older adults and adults with disabilities to reduce falls risks and falls in three regions of NH with high risk of injuries due to falls. Community Health Benefits & Needs AssessmentsThe FHC worked closely with nonprofit hospitals & health systems to advance their knowledge and ability to effectively complete community health needs assessments, report on community benefits and communicate this information to the public. The FHC convened 11 hospitals to jointly conduct a random telephone survey of 2,691 individuals in order to identify community health needs and benefits.Substance Use Disorder TreatmentThe FHC began laying the groundwork to improve access to treatment for people with Substance Use Disorders (SUD) through a new project designed to increase the locations where people seeking Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) for opioid use can receive care, as well as working with hospital emergency departments to improve connections for people with SUD to follow up care and treatment after discharge. NH Med Bank The New Hampshire Med Bank is a charitable pharmacy that collects unused, unexpired, non-controlled medications from licensed healthcare facilities and dispenses them at no cost to NH residents who cannot afford their medications. The pharmacy operations are overseen by the Pharmacist-in-Charge, who is supported by a team of volunteer pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. The NH Med Bank team dispenses medications by mail to uninsured/underinsured individuals throughout the state.Behavioral Health InitiativeWorking with providers across the state, this initiative strives to identify solutions to improve access to behavioral health care and to help link community-based and inpatient behavioral health services.NH Healthcare Decisions CoalitionFocused on Advanced Directives and healthcare decisions, this initiative works with health providers and other partners to address decision-making issues related to people with life threatening illness and provide resources to assist people with making healthcare decisions for others.Emergency PreparednessThe Hospital Emergency Preparedness program is an ongoing support system to New Hampshire's hospitals in all-hazards disaster planning and response. Program activities include but are not limited to: assistance with meeting grant deliverables; convening the hospitals to share best practices and solve challenges, facilitation and liaison with local jurisdictions and community partners, providing technical assistance, conducting site visits and support to hospitals; emergency management program review; and identification of hospital needs and priorities.The FHC's focus is in New Hampshire and our record of success is built upon creating relationships, and working with people and organizations in communities throughout the state. Many of our initiatives have started in one or a few communities and then expanded to become statewide initiatives. The FHC utilizes evidence-based practices or interventions when they exist and promising best practices when the evidence is still being developed. 2586356 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 24 0 1 15 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 24 22 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 NH X Stephen M Ahnen 6032250900 125 Airport Road Concord NH 03301 Gregory Walker Trustee 0.50 1.00 X 0 0 0 Stephen Ahnen Treasurer & Secretary/CEO 0.50 40.00 X X 0 341471 42780 Mary DeVeau Chair 0.50 X X 0 0 0 Richard LaFleur MD Trustee 0.50 X 0 0 0 Scott McKinnon Immediate Past Chair 0.50 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Michelle McEwen Trustee 0.50 X 0 0 0 Paul Gardent Trustee 0.50 X 0 0 0 Arthur Nichols Trustee 0.50 X 0 0 0 Keith Shute MD Trustee 0.50 1.00 X 0 0 0 Shawn LaFrance Executive Director/Trustee 40.00 X X 126807 0 18402 Jeanne Ryer Trustee 0.50 X 0 0 0 William Brewster MD Trustee 0.50 X 0 0 0 Arthur O'Leary Trustee 0.50 X 0 0 0 Helen Pervanas PharmD Trustee 0.50 X 0 0 0 John Robb MD Trustee 0.50 X 0 0 0 Maria Ryan PhD APRN Trustee 0.50 1.00 X 0 0 0 Chris Accashian Trustee 0.50 X 0 0 0 George Blike MD Vice Chair 0.50 X X 0 0 0 Trinidad Tellez MD Trustee 0.50 X 0 0 0 Corin DeChirico DO Trustee 0.50 X 0 0 0 Peter Evers Trustee 0.50 X 0 0 0 Helen Taft Trustee 0.50 X 0 0 0 Elizabeth Merry Trustee 0.50 X 0 0 0 Warren West Trustee 0.50 1.00 X 0 0 0 Anne Diefendorf Associate Executive Director 40.00 X 139082 0 29055 265889 341471 90237 2 0 1 0 0 363120 813575 1176695 Program Revenue 900099 1031085 1031085 Seminars/Meetings/Work 900099 199065 199065 Indirect Program Incom 900099 104111 104111 Project Income 900099 96886 96886 Other Program Revenue 900099 50021 50021 1481168 16437 16437 65486 73005 -7519 -7519 -7519 2666781 1481168 0 8918 X 15581 15581 145209 145209 935109 833258 101851 44039 38946 5093 104671 78253 26418 78351 70559 7792 31164 28048 3116 1006553 1006553 89703 89703 49503 15111 34392 27912 27912 188877 188877 3729 2983 746 3818 2291 1527 Advance Care Guides 36661 36661 Dues & Subscriptions 4331 4331 Staff Development 1709 1709 Miscellaneous 371 371 2767291 2586356 180935 0 X 50 50 564648 640619 968845 609091 5170 7116 148545 136164 4693 12381 633288 676374 60520 90780 2237214 2036411 253041 151531 74754 19910 47313 45600 375108 217041 X 587728 894137 1274378 925233 1862106 1819370 2237214 2036411 -100510 57774 0 X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 1393910 1521591 1843556 1587028 1176695 7522780 1816375 649306 1824643 2373861 1481168 8145353 3210285 2170897 3668199 3960889 2657863 15668133 0 0 0 15668133 16140 10693 15189 15275 16437 73734 16140 10693 15189 15275 16437 73734 3226425 2181590 3683388 3976164 2674300 15741867 0.99530 0.99560 0.00470 0.00440 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1118 1118 0 147427 135046 12381 12381 Due to Affiliate 45600 45600 2724555 57774 57774 2666781 0 2666781 2767291 0 2767291 0 2767291 1 Trustees of Dartmouth College 7 Lebanon Street Suite 302 No 6015 Hanover NH 03755 020222111 501(c)(3) 7361 The NH Comprehensive Cancer Collaboration entered into an agreement with the Trustees of Dartmouth to award $7,361 for a NH Cancer Plan implementation initiative, Reduce Barriers to HPV Vaccines in a High-Need Community . This addresses an objective in the NH Cancer Plan to increase the percentage of NH youth who complete the recommended HPV vaccination series. Overall, HPV is thought to cause about 26,800 new cancer cases in the U.S. each year; that is about 5% of total cancer cases-3% of cases in women and 2% of cases in men. Based on what is known about the barriers to improving HPV vaccine initiation and completion rates among both boys and girls, the HPV Stakeholders network will develop interventions that will address two audiences: healthcare providers and parents of adolescents. The intent is to target 2 high-need communities and conduct CDC-based CME trainings for providers with evaluations, and offer resources that will promote the vaccine series with parents of adolescents. 1 0 Part I, Line 2: Organization has executed Letters of Agreement with all the grantees which lays out the purpose of the grants, scope of services, budget and use of grant funds requirements, and reporting requirements.
