We would like to welcome you to the new Greater Monadnock Public Health Network blog!! The Greater Monadnock Public Health Network (GMPHN) is a community health and safety collaborative which works to enhance and improve public health-related services. Formerly known as the Cheshire Public Health Network, the GMPHN is one of 15 public health networks in the state of New Hampshire. The GMPHN is housed by Cheshire Medical Center and in collaboration with Cheshire County is financed under an agreement with the State of New Hampshire's Department of Health & Human Services / Division of Public Health Services with funds provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The GMPHN serves all of Cheshire County and the 10 western-most towns in Hillsborough County -- a total of 33 municipalities. The GMPHN strives to increase collaboration and planning across municipal boundaries and the health and safety sectors. It is made up of members of each of the coalition communities as well as of representatives of regional organizations involved in providing for the public’s health and safety.
