Better Together

Partnership for Public Health

Better Together is a laid-back, professional podcast by the Partnership for Public Health (PPH) that brings partners, advocates, and community voices together to talk about the real issues shaping public health in our region — from prevention and wellness to housing, aging, and youth health. We mix facts and stories, with authentic conversation and a touch of humor to make complex topics relatable and hopeful. Each 25–30 minute episode highlights how collaboration makes our communities healthier, safer, and more connected. Public health is personal and broad. Better Together helps listeners understand how local partnerships and prevention efforts impact daily life. It gives a voice to those shaping real change and invites everyone to be part of the solution. Every episode will not only have facts, and information, but will also have actionable steps to conclude the episode so listeners can do something with what they just learned.

    The Prodigal CEO returns Home to Granite VNA

    Granite VNA — New Hampshire's largest not-for-profit home health and hospice agency — has a new President and CEO, and he's not exactly new to the building. Jim Culhane spent years working his way up at Granite VNA, left to run Lake Sunapee Region VNA & Hospice for over a decade, and has now come back to lead the whole organization. In this episode of Better Together, we sit down with Jim to talk about what it actually takes to lead a 125+ year old healthcare nonprofit, how he navigated a major organizational merger at his last agency, what home health and hospice care really look like in rural New Hampshire, and why he came back to Concord to do it all over again — this time in charge. If you live in the Lakes Region or Central NH, care about nonprofit leadership, or just want to understand what home health and hospice agencies actually do (and why they matter more than most people realize), this one's for you. About Granite VNA: Granite VNA is New Hampshire's largest not-for-profit home health and hospice agency, serving communities across Central New Hampshire and the Lakes Region since 1899.
