Older, more rural, and squeezed on both ends.
New Hampshire has the second-oldest population in the country, behind only Maine. It is also considerably more rural than its Boston-adjacent reputation suggests, with thirteen critical access hospitals serving communities that have no fallback if a service line closes. Meanwhile employers along the southern tier compete for the same workers as Massachusetts, at Massachusetts wages.
Chris runs national healthcare staffing organizations built around filling those gaps, and he has keynoted state association conferences in eleven states, including LeadingAge Illinois and health care associations in Iowa, Montana, South Dakota, and Colorado, all serving the long-term care audience New Hampshire leans on heavily.
