White Mountain Community Health seeks $8,760 to support Tamworth patients amid rising demand
Summary
White Mountain Community Health requested $8,760 noting about 219 Tamworth patients (roughly 7% of their patients) and expecting greater sliding-scale demand as Medicaid and insurance changes increase need; clinic space constraints were cited as the main challenge.
Sienna Kaplan-Thompson told the Select Board White Mountain Community Health is requesting $8,760 to help serve local patients in 2026. Kaplan-Thompson said about 7% of WMCH patients—219 individuals—are Tamworth residents and that the organization expects sliding-scale need to rise as some patients lose insurance and Medicaid changes occur.
Kaplan-Thompson said limited clinic space has been WMCH’s primary challenge and that leadership is considering options. The board discussed budget alignment and clinic capacity; WMCH’s petition will be considered at the Feb. 10 budget hearing.
