Good Health and Realized Potential for All
A Future Bold Enough to Match the Times
The Endowment for Health works to improve the health and reduce the burden of illness for the people of New Hampshire, especially the vulnerable and underserved. We envision a future where all people who call New Hampshire their home are happy, healthy and thriving. A future where healthy aging is easy, and every child has what they need to grow to be their best self. A future where differences among our people are welcomed and celebrated. A future where geography and circumstances do not define our wellbeing. A future of hopeful possibilities. Join us.
Dear New Hampshire
The Year We Have Weathered, The Future That Will Flourish
Endowment for Health President Dr. Yvonne Goldsberry writes a poignant letter to New Hampshire. What have we weathered over the course of 2020 and how will we flourish into 2021 and beyond? Each of us has what it takes as individuals and as community members to flourish in amazing ways.
Children's Behavioral Health
Mental health - social-emotional well-being - is fundamental to overall health and an important contributor to a child's success in school and in adulthood.
Early Childhood
Scientific research demonstrates the importance of early childhood experiences to healthy development and health outcomes. Early childhood experiences literally shape the brain’s architecture, establishing either a sturdy or fragile base for all the learning, health and behavior that follows.
