BEDFORD — N.H. Healthy Families, a New Hampshire-based health plan recently partnered with Androscoggin Valley Hospital and Coos County Family Health Services to support the Great North Woods Charitable Foundation to benefit citizens living in the North Country confronted with complex medical needs and social challenges.

Earlier this year, Michael Peterson, president of Androscoggin Valley Hospital and Ken Gordon, CEO of Coos County Family Health Services, introduced The Great North Woods Charitable Foundation. The foundation was created in response to the community’s need for financial assistance with items like medical co-pays, transportation to medical appointments, fuel assistance and access to healthy food.
