As Chief Public Health Strategists, we subscribe to the following:
We are a trusted source providing essential public health services and credible messaging to ensure a resilient community where all people can thrive and prosper.
We work collaboratively with our community and partners to develop and implement public health priorities and initiatives that are quality-focused and data-driven.
We are a committed workforce that continually improves our professional skill set and capabilities to respond effectively to emerging public health challenges and the ever-changing landscape.
We are committed to instituting a culturally informed environment, using an equity lens, that supports the inclusion and openness to a diversity of values, beliefs, and traditions.
We are located on unceded and occupied land called N’dakinna, the traditional ancestral homeland of the Abenaki, Pennacook, and Wabanaki Peoples past and present. The word Nashua or Niswa-ok in the Abenaki language, means place of two rivers. We acknowledge and honor these People who have been stewards of this land and water for hundreds of generations.
