Senate Approves $200,000 for Treatment Centers in Western New Hampshire

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen recently announced that she has secured $200,000 to help eight Phoenix House centers in western New Hampshire acquire and install a new electronic data system for patient records.

The system will enable Phoenix House to better treat and assist clients by thoroughly assessing a client's needs, customizing treatment, updating clinical records, and electronically sharing data with the treatment network and governmental and community partners.

“This new electronic medical record system will help Phoenix House improve patient outcomes, share data between their centers, and continue to improve their already outstanding services."

Phoenix House is a non-profit organization that operates eight alcohol and drug abuse treatment and prevention facilities in western New Hampshire. www.phoenixhouse.org
