Stay'NHealthy Growing Strong

Advantage Network PHO, in collaboration with Southern New Hampshire Medical Center, St. Joseph Hospital, First Choice PHO, Dartmouth Hitchcock- Nashua, and the Nashua Area Health Center in organizing Stay’NHealthy, a program to help primary care practices prevent, manage and treat at-risk/obese children.

The project is an adaptation of KeepMEHealthy, a nationally recognized program of the Maine Youth Overweight Collaborative. The program goals are to help primary care practices make system improvements and implement practice strategies to more effectively assess and manage pediatric overweight and obesity. 

Fifteen primary care practices from the greater Nashua Area will participate in a year-long process which will include three day-long collaborative learning sessions, conference call follow-up, and hands-on practice tools. The goal is to help each of the participating practices make sustainable system improvements in their practices and improve their own individual skills in working with at risk and obese patients and their families. 

Stay’NHealthy is funded by the participating physician organizations and hospitals and by grants from Healthy NH Foundation and Harvard Pilgrim Foundation.
