"Good Morning New Hampton" Program
The Good Morning New Hampton Program was created to provide our at-risk population an opportunity to check-in on a regular basis. Recently, we had an opportunity to see the benefits of the Good Morning New Hampton program. A resident checked-in on their regular day but failed to check-in on the next scheduled time. Following the programs guidelines, firefighters tried to call the individual. Failing to reach them by phone, police officers went to the residence for a well-being check. Unable to make contact, the police and fire department gained entry to the residence and found the individual in an upstairs bedroom lying on the floor. This individual had been lying on the floor for over twenty-four hours. Crews were able to treat and transport this individual to a definitive care facility, preventing what almost surely would have been a lonely, tragic ending. While not as dramatic as this situation, the Good Morning Program provides these services to our at-risk residents every day.
For more information on the Good Morning New Hampton Program, please call (603-744-2735) or stop by the firehouse.
