Community Benefits Plan

Home Healthcare, Hospice and Community Services files a community benefits plan and report of uncompensated care given annually as required by RSA 7:32-e.

The health care needs that were identified in our community needs assessment that are addressed in our plan include:
  • Maternal Risk Factors, including the very late initiation of prenatal care and maternal smoking.
  • Elderly issues, including loneliness, isolation, perceived lack of transportation and the need for assistance with medications.
  • Need for expansion of prevention resources and services.
In addition to programs and services that addressed the needs listed above, Home Healthcare, Hospice and Community Services also provided charitable care to individuals. The total amount of Community Benefit for uncompensated care and unfunded programs for our 2006-2007 fiscal year was $601,600.
