Nashua High School, Southern NH Health partner to grow next generation of health care professionals – NH Business Review
Southern New Hampshire Health (SNHH) — comprised of Southern New Hampshire Medical Center and Foundation Medical Partners — has partnered with Nashua High School to provide educational and hands-on support to help foster the next generation of health care workers.
Through an application process, the Nashua High School Careers and Technical Education Health Occupations program will be available for 40 to 90 juniors and seniors from Nashua and the surrounding area to take part in the two-year program.
Academics and classroom-based studies such as anatomy, physiology and in-patient care will be the focus during students’ first year in the program, with 60-80 hours of clinical practice and hands-on learning offered in the second year.
Laura Forgione, executive director of inpatient nursing, professional practice and the Magnet Program at Southern New Hampshire Health, says, “We are proud to support the youth in our community exploring careers in the health care field. We are deeply committed to ensuring these students have the resources needed to support their learning.”
Funding for the program is supported by Perkins grants, the school budget and community support. Program Director Lori Chisholm explains, “The Health Science program at Nashua High School South has been supported by Southern New Hampshire Medical Center for years. Recently, we have forged a greater partnership to educate our current seniors. Southern New Hampshire Health has begun to provide not only financial support for our year-end LNA/Health Occupations celebration and much-needed medical supplies, but also was able to donate eight hospital beds for our lab area. We look forward to continuing to grow our relationship and appreciate Laura Forgione stepping up and participating in our advisory board.”
After completing the program and passing the exam to earn their certificate, graduates of the program can find employment opportunities as licensed nurse assistants or patient care attendants in private facilities.

Concord City Manager Receives ‘Satisfactory’ Review, 2.5% Raise, But Sabbatical Request Gets Trimmed
Schultz said she “highly respects” Aspell, too, but there was a “dissonance between reality” when eyeing what the public and city employees were earning.
Ward 6 City Council Aislinn Kalob, too, would not be voting for the increase, saying it had been “heavily on my mind since we’ve had our nonpublic sessions,” which lasted about six hours of work. She appreciated Kretovic clearly outlining the job of city manager. But people were frustrated with the city manager, and she saw that in the comments in online forums.
“I do feel, after really digging into this, and learning about his job,” she said, “and thinking toward the future when, eventually, at some point, somebody new will be sitting in that seat, we are the ones who direct policy and he is the one that implements it… there is anger out there that should be directed more toward us.”
Kalob said, too, a room full of firefighters, upset about their contract, also made voting for the wage increase something she could not consider.
Michele Horne of Ward 2 echoed similar concerns to Schultz, saying there was significant “wage disparity” between the public and staff and the city manager. She also agreed with Kalob’s point that previous councils created this contract.
