Project ECHO: Our Current Political Landscape/Budget

Program Overview
Each year the legislature debates proposed bills that can advance or jeopardize the health of the people of the Granite State. The executive branch – the Governor, Executive Council, and agencies - also decides on funding and programming that impacts health. This ECHO will examine legislation and executive action on key current issues and consider together how we can best advocate to assure that NH policies advance the health of Granite Staters.  Your voice can make a difference!
