Empowering Communities

The New Hampshire Institute for Health Policy and Practice (NHIHPP) is a formal alliance between the University of New Hampshire, State of New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services, and Dartmouth Medical School. The institute's mission is to develop and disseminate policy and practice information to improve the health and well being of the citizens of New Hampshire.

“It is critical if we are to improve the health of our population to look beyond the traditional medical model. Multidisciplinary research is essential and understanding those aspects of our community that create a sense of well-being—our social capitol—is a critical part of that work.”     —Ned Helms
