October Clinic Chronicle

 

Dear Neighbors,



Time for change is not just for the clocks, remember to get out there and vote on November 3rd! 


October in the Upper Valley has a way of reminding us what endurance looks like. The leaves turn, the air sharpens, and our community settles in for the season ahead. Here at Good Neighbor Health Clinic, this time of year also brings a familiar reminder: the need for care doesn’t slow down when the weather changes, and neither do we.


This month, our staff, volunteers, and partners continued to show up for every neighbor who walked through our doors; people seeking medical and dental care, a referral, a familiar face, or simply someone who would listen. That steady, everyday work is the heart of who we are, and it is only possible because of you.


We’re also carrying some exciting news into the months ahead. In June 2027, Good Neighbor Health Clinic will host New Hampshire’s first Remote Area Medical (RAM) clinic, offering free medical, dental and vision care to anyone who needs it. This milestone reflects years of advocacy and relationship building, and it will take all of us, several hundred volunteers and many partners to make the event a success. You’ll be hearing much more about how to get involved in the coming months, but in the meantime please reach out to me with any questions. To learn more about RAM, click here.


As we head into the season of gratitude, please know how thankful we are for each of you. Whether you give your time, your resources, or your voice, you help make sure no one in our community has to go without care when they need it. To get through the winter ahead, I would like to focus a little more on the hearts of our volunteers and the incredible work they do here at Good Neighbor Health Clinic. Stay connected to learn more in our next month's letter!


Sincerely,

Elizabeth R. Franson, MHA

CEO & Executive Director

Thank You, Dr. Bradley! 


After five years of service, Dr. Kristin Bradley will be leaving Red Logan Dental Clinic. Her last day is October 29th. Since 2021, Dr. Bradley has cared for many of our neighbors, often for people who had gone a long time without a dentist. Her patients and colleagues will miss her skill and her good humor. 


On behalf of the staff and board of Good Neighbor Health Clinic, thank you, Dr. Bradley, for your dedication to our patients and our mission. We wish you all the best in the next chapter of your career!
