LACONIA — The Junior High Religion classes from Holy Trinity School went on a field trip on Sunday March 25 to York, Maine. The first stop was at the York House of Pizza followed by an exploration of the Nubble Light House. The students became marine explorers on all the rocks and caves that are on the mainland near the lighthouse and learned about the bucket used to transport the children of the former
lighthouse keepers to the mainland for school each morning. The highlight of the trip was the live musical presentation of the Life and Passion of Christ presented by about 125 of the parishioners of St. Christopher Church in York, called “To God be the Glory”. The dramatic portrayal of the Gospel stories was an inspiration to all in preparation for the upcoming Easter celebration which is the most important feast of the Christian Church.
LACONIA — Five of New Hampshire’s ten Community Mental Health Centers (CMHCs) recently received a $25,000 grant from the Cogswell Benevolent Trust to support implementation of a shared Electronic Health Record (EHR) system. Project partners include: Genesis Behavioral Health, Seacoast Mental Health Center, Greater Nashua Mental Health Center, Monadnock Family Services, and Northern Human Services. Noting federal regulations require all healthcare organizations to implement an EHR by 2015, Maggie Pritchard, executive director of Genesis Behavioral Health in Laconia, said support from Cogswell Benevolent Trust comes at a critical time. “The next twelve to eighteen months represent the largest portion of the costs associated with this project,” said Pritchard. “Given CMHCs were not provided with access to any incentive funds to defray any of these costs, we must seek grant funding.” Citing a $125,000 grant from the Endowment for Health awarded last summer, Jay Couture, executive director of Seacoast Mental Health Center in Portsmouth, said this latest show
of financial support testifies to the strength of their collaboration. “This is a very complex project that involves nearly every employee from each agency,” said Couture. “I believe the Cogswell Benevolent Trust appreciates the collaborative nature of this project and understands what is at stake for mental health care in the state long-term. The five community mental health centers involved in this project are part of the NH Community Behavioral Health Association, an organization comprised of the ten community mental health centers throughout New Hampshire. These centers serve more than 52,200 individuals in our state living with—and recovering from—mental illness and emotional disorders. Genesis Behavioral Health is designated by the State of New Hampshire as the community mental health center serving Belknap and southern Grafton Counties. A private, nonprofit corporation, Genesis serves over 3,000 children, families, adults and older adults each year.
