Health Policy Grand Rounds
As part of We Care We Vote, we invited all candidates for statewide and federal office from New Hampshire and Vermont to visit Dartmouth Health and participate in Health Policy Grand Rounds—either virtually or in person. As they occur, we will publish the recorded conversation with the candidates who accepted our invitation and shared their views on a range of topics and answered questions.
Rural Health Equity Policy Forum, with NH Congressional District 2 candidates
Wednesday, September 4, 2024
4 to 6 pm
Located in Auditorium H at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, New Hampshire
Recognizing that political drivers of health, including federal legislative activity, shape health outcomes and access to healthcare, CARHE and the Dartmouth Health Office of Government Relations are partnering to cohost the Rural Health Equity Policy Forum. You are invited to hear from candidates running for the Congressional District 2 seat. This seat has been held by Congresswoman Annie Kuster for the last decade, but she announced her retirement from Congress in late March. Two candidates have confirmed attendance, Maggie Goodlander and Colin Van Ostern, and will join us for this policy forum.
At the Forum, community members—including clinicians, researchers, students, nonprofit leaders, and more—will ask health equity centered questions of the candidates with rich context and background information. This Forum will provide an opportunity for participating candidates to learn about rural challenges and share their political strategies to tackle health disparities.
