Northern New Hampshire AHEC is a proud program of North Country Health Consortium (NCHC), and NCHC is participating in NH Gives this year.

Please consider donating something the NCHC!

Even donating as little as $25 could help us get a gas card for a health career student (medical student, PA student, etc.) to attend shadowing and learning opportunities here in the North Country and expand the opportunities to attract healthcare students and future providers to eventually practice here in the North Country and in rural settings.

Take a moment to check out our page and donate if you can!

Thank you!

I’m ready to support North Country Health Consortium on June 10, 2025 during NH Gives 2025. Learn more about North Country Health Consortium and all the other organizations participating in NH Gives 2025.
