Cooperative Agreement 90CSSG0078

The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living awarded Lamprey Health Care Inc. a Cooperative Agreement for $1,071,511 on August 1, 2026, under the Empowering Older Adults and Adults with Disabilities through Chronic Disease Self-Management Education Programs (CFDA 93.734), financed by Prevention and Public Health Funds.

Lamprey Health Care will expand and sustain New Hampshire's Well-Being Action Network, which delivers chronic disease self-management education (CDSMP), chronic pain self-management programs (CPSMP), diabetes self-management programs (DSMP), Tomando control programs, and Walk with Ease programs to seniors and adults with disabilities, prioritizing individuals with behavioral health conditions such as depression, anxiety, or substance use disorders. Over the three-year performance period (August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2029), the program targets enrollment of 600 chronic disease self-management education participants and 548 Walk with Ease participants. Lamprey Health Care will develop and disseminate 508-compliant resources including brochures, forms, slide decks, and websites, with the University of New Hampshire Institute on Disability providing technical assistance. A capstone project documenting lessons learned will support replication by others in the field. Work is performed in New Hampshire and involves partnership with the Bureau of Aging & Adult Services, Community Behavioral Health Association, UNH Extension, and other statewide partners to increase program referrals, sites, and leaders.
