Health and Equity ReporterAs NHPR’s health and equity reporter, my goal is to explore how the health care system in New Hampshire is changing – from hospital closures and population growth, to the use of AI and big changes in federal and state policies. I want to be someone you can reach out to with their questions about how these changes are affecting you and your loved ones.This mission is personal for me, too. When I first moved to New Hampshire, I was put on a nearly yearlong waitlist for a routine doctor’s appointment – until an emergency bumped me up the list. That experience made me curious about other people’s access to care, and how patients and providers are filling the gaps.
