At the heart of Greater Seacoast Community Health is a team of dedicated health and family service professionals, volunteers, partners and donors committed to one mission: making health services and support accessible to ALL. This report highlights how, together, we are emerging from the COVID pandemic and turning our attention to the many other health and wellness challenges facing our community — from workforce challenges, to Hepatitis C, to access to care for people experiencing homelessness.

With every conversation, every donation, every hour spent volunteering for our programs or events, and every time you share your expertise, you provide a gift to this organization and mission. Your contributions allow us to continue reducing health disparities in the Seacoast area as well as to shape a larger, more equitable health care system for everyone.

I am proud and humbled to be one of many leaders of Greater Seacoast Community Health. Here are just a few of the things we accomplished together last year:

• Relocated Families First to a larger, more visible building in Portsmouth, following a successful capital campaign
• Expanded our medical residency program to 12 residents and renovated space in our Somersworth building to accommodate the growth
• Received statewide designation as a Family Resource Center of Quality 
• Renewed our top-level Primary Care Medical Home designation for both Somersworth and Portsmouth locations
• Added two new Community Health Worker positions to help patients and their families navigate and access community services
• Embarked on a new public health dental residency program with Tufts University.

Together, with our Board of Directors and Leadership team, I extend my deepest gratitude to all who supported our mission, our patients and each other in 2022. You are greatly appreciated.
