Who Can Refer
Anyone! NHPHP accepts self-referrals and calls from persons who may be concerned about a chiropractor, dentist, dietician, licensed alcohol and drug counselor, mental health practitioner, midwife, nurse licensee, optometrist, pharmacist, physician, physician assistant, podiatrist, psychologist, veterinarian or students of these professions enrolled in a New Hampshire college or university. NHPHP will accept anonymous calls but NHPHP lacks the ability to mandate participation or compliance with NHPHP recommendations. Despite this fact, NHPHP will gladly assist you in exploring referral options. Self-referral remains the ideal entry point however, the “self” remains our least likely source.
When to Refer
Please call NHPHP if you have any questions about how NHPHP can assist with any medical/physical, psychiatric, behavioral or emotional issues. We can help determine if a referral to NHPHP is appropriate.

How to Make a Referral
NHPHP recommends the referring party call Dr. Rossignol, NHPHP Medical Director, to express the nature of the concerns and to learn first-hand about our intake and assessment process. The referring party can call (603) 491-5036 or send an e-mail outlining their concerns to mrossignol@nhphp.org. This allows Dr. Rossignol to gather information prior to speaking with the referred health care professional in order to gain an understanding of the nature and severity of the referral.
