Lamprey Health Care

What Lamprey Health Care does

Lamprey Health Care is a nonprofit Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) founded in 1971 and headquartered in Raymond, New Hampshire, operating three fixed health centers in Nashua, Newmarket, and Raymond supplemented by a Mobile Health Unit. The organization delivers integrated primary care, behavioral health, women's health and prenatal care, pediatrics, substance use disorder services, dental programs, lab services, and (since January 2025) an on-site Genoa Healthcare pharmacy at its Raymond site. It serves 17,471+ patients across 40+ New Hampshire communities, with 40% of patients uninsured or on Medicaid; Lamprey states it is New Hampshire's largest FQHC and ranks in the top 20% of health centers nationwide on HRSA quality outcomes.

Its technology stack is built around the athenahealth EMR platform with an integrated patient portal for scheduling, bill payment, and secure messaging, and was migrated to a new EMR instance in 2025. In February 2025, Lamprey deployed AI Scribes — an NLP-powered clinical documentation tool that transcribes provider-patient conversations — alongside a streamlined prescription-refill workflow. The organization also operates the only accredited Family Nurse Practitioner Fellowship Program in New Hampshire (established 2017, three-year programmatic accreditation from the Consortium for Advanced Practice Providers in July 2024), a Medical Assistant Training Program, and houses the Southern NH Area Health Education Center.

Lamprey's business model combines patient service revenue (insurance, Medicaid, Medicare, and sliding-fee-scale self-pay) with federal FQHC funding under 42 U.S.C. 254b, philanthropic grants (notably AmeriHealth Caritas NH's $100,000 four-year commitment and TD Foundation support for the Mobile Health Unit), and on-site pharmacy revenue. GTM is community-led: fixed clinics with expanded hours, walk-in availability, mobile outreach to shelters and partner sites, sliding-fee enrollment assistance, and a referral partnership network spanning SVdP Exeter, GATHER, Genoa Healthcare, AmeriHealth Caritas NH, Southern NH AHEC, SOS Recovery, and Articine. The organization is governed by a 17-member Board and has been led by Co-CEOs Sue Durkin and Greg White since 2023.
