2-1-1 NH is a statewide initiative and easy to remember phone number that connects people in need of health and human services. The United Ways of New Hampshire have all identified access to health services as a priority need in their communities. These ten United Ways have collaborated with one another to develop a system with one centralized call center and a web-based statewide database of resources. The 2-1-1 NH Call Center is housed at Public Service Company of New Hampshire's (PSNH) call center. PSNH provides in-kind services of space, utilities and technology.
By dialing 2-1-1, New Hampshire residents will be connected with a trained information and referral specialist who can provide them with the information they need to get help or give help. For the first time, citizens will have access to resources throughout New Hampshire simply by dialing 2-1-1 and at no cost to the caller. 2-1-1 exists in 44 states in the U.S. Additional funding for 2-1-1 NH is provided by United Ways of New Hampshire, the State of NH, Citizens Bank Foundation, the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation and Exeter Hospital. With support from the Endowment for Health and under the volunteer leadership of Major General Joseph Simeone (ret.), the United Ways engaged health and human service care providers, the five comprehensive Information and Referral providers in the state and technical experts until they arrived at a unique public/private/nonprofit model for 2-1-1. This provides New Hampshire residents with the most effective, most efficient delivery of comprehensive information and referral services. As of June 11, 2008, people in New Hampshire can access a vast network of health and human service organizations simply by dialing 2-1-1.
