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, respiratory care providers, athletic trainers, recreational, occupational or physical therapists, speech language pathologists and hearing care providers. NHPHP will accept anonymous calls; however, NHPHP lacks the ability to mandate participation or compliance with its 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 that the referring party call our office to express the nature of their concerns and learn firsthand about our intake and assessment process. The referring party can call (603) 223-0990, outlining their concerns. This allows us to gather information before speaking with the referred healthcare professional, enabling us to gain an understanding of the nature and severity of the referral.
