"Guiding people to improved health and well-being through
a community health care network"
SeaCare Health Services ® is a 501(c)3 tax exempt non-profit organization
serving the New Hampshire Seacoast area, providing access to medical
care for uninsured adults, assistance in applying for long term medications
for low-income families and home visiting/health coordination
services for families with children.
SeaCare Health Services ® began in 1992 as the result of an effort
by local physicians and human service providers to increase
access to affordable health care for uninsured children. This
idea of developing a coordinated system to screen and refer
indigent uninsured patients through a pro bono volunteer
physician network in six Seacoast towns received funding from The
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation in 1992. Further, in 1994 SeaCare
Health Services was awarded additional Robert Wood Johnson
recognition with a four year "Reach Out" grant to
expand services to adults and children throughout 21 towns in
Rockingham County. In 1995, the American Academy of Pediatrics
awarded SeaCare Health Services ® a five-year Healthy Tomorrows
Grant to provide child health education to families enrolled in
the program.
SeaCare Health Services ® is founded on the belief that our
community should provide high quality equitable health care for
all. Such health care encompasses those services needed to
achieve complete physical, mental and social well-being. SeaCare
Health Services is devoted to ensuring that all under served
members of the community have access to optimal health care.
