2025 Goals:

Easterseals NH is working on several major projects for 2026. We have completed Phase I of the Easterseals NH Military & Veterans Campus in Franklin, a 15-acre, first-of-its-kind center of excellence for those who have served, featuring affordable housing, a hub of services and a retreat center. For 2026, we are raising funds through more than 60 donor naming opportunities for Phase II of the campus, which will feature an equine and recreation center, an aquatics and fitness center, an outdoor challenge course and an empowerment center.

We renovated our Gammon Academy residence on Zachary Road in Manchester, NH, to create a welcoming and modern space that provides safety, comfort and opportunities for students with significant behavioral health needs. A new 9,500-square-foot Bernadine Herron Playground is a fully ADA-accessible space that fosters creativity, connection and play for students at Easterseals NH’s Gammon Academy. The next phase of the project will focus on the residential side of the campus, specifically renovating student housing.

We are also on a mission to redefine inclusive child care in New Hampshire by setting new industry standards at our Early Childhood Centers of Excellence. Our two Manchester locations offer integrated care that may include developmental services such as speech therapy, physical
therapy, and social and emotional support. We are also raising additional funds for these centers to help make our strategic goals a reality.

Mission Statement:

Easterseals NH provides plans of care comprised of thoughtfully integrated services that help those with varied abilities live, learn, work and play throughout their lifetimes. We deliver best-in-class care to thousands of New Hampshire children, adults, seniors and veterans each year.
