Community Health
Southern New Hampshire Health is dedicated to meeting the health needs of the communities we serve. We take a number of steps to fulfill this mission.
Food Resources in the Greater Nashua Community
The guides below provide a comprehensive list of food assistance programs and community resources available to individuals and families in the Greater Nashua area. While Southern NH Health is not directly affiliated with the listed organizations, the information aims to connect residents with vital services that support food security and well-being.
Supporting the City of Nashua
We work collaboratively with the city of Nashua and other social service agencies to identify the health concerns and needs in the city and the greater Nashua region. You can read more about these efforts in Nashua’s community health assessment reports.

We support the city’s action plan and broaden our assessment to define and address the unmet health needs in all of the 32 communities we serve. You can read more about our efforts in our last few reports.

As a non-profit organization, we submit an annual Community Benefits Report to the state. This report defines the time, talent and resources we provide, at no cost to the community, to help improve the health and well-being in all of the communities we serve.
