CONWAY — While visiting Conway last Thursday, U.S. Rep. Chris Pappas (D-N.H.) made stops at Memorial Hospital in North Conway and the Veterans Affairs Community Based Outpatient Clinic in Conway Village, where he discussed new programs being put in place to meet patient care needs despite staffing shortages.
On Feb. 10, Pappas also made stops at the Gibson Center for Senior Services, the Pope Memorial Library and M&D Playhouse, all in North Conway, and the Mount Washington Valley Economic Council at Conway.
