The CHW can connect students/families to medical, dental, and vision providers; help them secure health insurance; assist them in completing applications or determining eligibility for Medicaid, WIC/Food Stamps, fuel/rental assistance, and other financial assistance; and connect

The Manchester Community Schools Consortium is a partnership between three lead agencies – the Manchester School District (MSD), Manchester Health Department (MHD), and Amoskeag Health–as well as multiple community partners. For ten years, the Consortium has leveraged national and local resources to strengthen program efforts in all Manchester’s public schools. The Consortium has helped to transform
these schools into neighborhood hubs, strengthening linkages between the school and community to improve student achievement systematically, increase family and neighborhood engagement, and improve student behavior and youth development.
Manchester Health Department Dental Care Program
The City of Manchester Health Department works with the Manchester School District to bring dental care to children in need at Manchester’s elementary, middle, and high schools. Dental care is provided on a dental van at each school during school hours by a certified Public Health Dental Hygienist and, when needed, a licensed dentist. Students can also be referred to local dental offices for ongoing dental care. The program serves an average of 600 students each school year at all 21 Manchester public schools.
