Purchase of New Community Health Outreach Van
July 6 2018
The Division of Public Health and Community Services received a grant from the New Hampshire
Charitable Foundation (NHCP) to provide repairs to the existing outreach van. The
van which is over 17 years old has leaks to the interior and needed to have
reupholstering done to be incompliance with the state as a mobile testing lab. The
cost of the repairs and other work proved to be more than the value of the vehicle
on the current market. A request was submitted to the NHCF to use the funds to
purchase a new cargo vehicle to support outreach services.
The NHCF approved the revision allowing for the purchase of a new vehicle. The new vehicle is a
159” caroo van that will allow for mobile testing and conducting outreach all year
tound. Services will include: HIV/STD/HCV counseling and testing,
Immunizations, Lead Screening, Health Promotion and Prevention activities
including Safe Syringe Access of the Nashua Area (SSANA). The NHCF grant
amount is $19,990. The cost of the van purchase with upfitting costs totals:
$32,644.00. CERF will be used to support the difference in funding for the purchase.
