The mission of The Endowment for Health is to improve the health and reduce the burden of illness for the people of New Hampshire - especially the vulnerable and underserved.
We define health broadly: "Health is the state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being - not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." (World Health Organization)
What do we mean when we speak of New Hampshire's people? As a foundation, we address the needs of specific populations and communities rather than the needs of individuals. We have both a local and a state-wide focus as we work to improve health care systems that will benefit vulnerable and underserved residents in our state.
