Good morning, New Hampshire, and welcome to Tuesday. Today, we begin with a pair of healthcare-related stories from William Skipworth: the first outlines a new emergency medical services investment through the GO-NORTH initiative, and the second looks at new funding for a pair of maternal healthcare organizations operating in the North Country. Also, States Newsroom’s Shauneen Miranda reports on a Trump administration executive order to establish a women’s health division within the National Institutes of Health. Thank you for reading, and enjoy the day. — Dana

While U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was visiting New Hampshire last week, GO-NORTH announced a new $11 million project aimed at strengthening the state’s emergency medical services. The project, officials said at a Concord press conference Friday, will provide rural EMS and ambulance providers with new equipment and technology, workforce training and partnership assistance for neighboring communities to share resources.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Monday establishing a Women’s Health Division within the National Institutes of Health. The new division is set to work with the agency’s existing Office of Research on Women’s Health, which was established in 1990 and “has served as the focal point for women’s health research at NIH,” according to the NIH website.
