Public Health Newsletter
In an effort to help spread community information regarding public health and safety, LRPPH has developed a seasonal newsletter. The inagural newsletter, focusing on Emergency Preparedness, was sent to household residents in the Lakes Region communities of Alton, Belmont, Center Harbor, Gilford, Gilmanton, Laconia, Meredith, Moultonborough and Sandwich in the Summer of 2007. Subsequent newsletters will be delivered to residents at public buildings, such as town halls and libraries, and will be avaliable online, or to your email inbox. Sign up for email delivery today!
