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.
