Public Health Education and Detailing Team

The New Hampshire Public Health Education and Detailing (PHED) Team provides in person and virtual education, as well as, resource sharing with healthcare providers, community-based organizations, schools and other community partners. Our priority is to provide the most current information on infectious disease prevention, screening, testing and treatment in a non-judgmental way, while also being a resource for the community. To achieve this priority, partnerships are a must, and we always seek to create new partnerships while strengthening our current partnerships.
