Lamprey Health Care announced they have been awarded the Community Health Quality Recognition (CHQR) – Health Center Quality Leader (HCQL) SILVER LEVEL badge for 2024 from the Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA.) This is awarded to the top 20% of all health centers nationally achieving the best overall clinical quality measurement performance.
"I am incredibly proud of our team for being awarded the HRSA Silver Health Center Quality Leader award for 2024," said Sue Durkin, CEO of Lamprey Health Care. "This achievement reflects the hard work, dedication, and unwavering commitment of our entire staff to delivering exceptional care and services to our community. Congratulations to everyone for this well-deserved recognition!"
This was a particularly difficult year due to a migration to a new Electronic Medical Records management system. Although the end result has proven beneficial for both staff and patients with improved efficiencies, communication, and quality measures, it was difficult to navigate the change.
The Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) provides equitable health care to the nation’s highest-need communities. Their programs support people with low incomes, people with HIV, pregnant people, children, parents, rural communities, transplant patients, and the health workforce.
Lamprey Health Care was founded in 1971, and is a federally qualified health center with centers in Newmarket, Raymond, and Nashua, NH. Lamprey Health Care is a private, nonprofit organization recognized as exempt from Federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Lamprey Health Care’s mission is to provide high quality primary medical care and health related services, with an emphasis on prevention and lifestyle management, to all individuals regardless of ability to pay.
