4NHHPCO is pleased to announce the opening of Journey Home Thrift Shop, 200 Lafayette Rd. in North
    Hampton NH. Owner extraordinaire - Janet Hamilton has many years of experience operating thrift
    shops in the seacoast area and has chosen NHHPCO to support with financial donations from her new
    shop once profits are realized in a year or so. For details please see link on left side of page!

4NHHPCO announces support for the development of POLST. The NHHPCO Board of Directors recently
    voted to support the use of Provider Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST). A comprehensive
    POLST strategy will provide an opportunity to respect the wishes of patients and strengthen
    communication between patients and clinicians and among different health provider organizations. The
    POLST document reflects current preferences of the patient with serious illness or frailty and answers
    questions for treatment that goes beyond the portable DNR. The POLST extends patient autonomy in
    multiple care settings by allowing people to document their desire for common treatments that often
    require quick decisions to administer such as antibiotics, blood transfusions and fluids. The POLST
    initiative is being led by the N.H. Healthcare Decisions Coalition.
