Help Reverse Medicaid Cuts to CHaD

Governor Lynch's proposed state budget reduces Medicaid funding to Dartmouth-Hitchcock by $10 million over the next two years. These cuts hurt CHaD the most. The NH House of Representatives recognized CHaD's role as the state's only children's hospital and changed the budget to reverse some of the harmful cuts. Dartmouth-Hitchcock is encouraging CHaD supporters to contact NH State Senators in May to urge them to adopt the House budget changes that affect CHaD. Learn more
