The Board of Directors of Home Healthcare Hospice and Community Services has announced that Barbara Duckett, president/CEO, will retire effective Nov. 15. Duckett has served as CEO of HCS for the past 12 and a half years.
“It is a bittersweet moment to be retiring from the work and the people I love,” said Duckett in making the announcement.
Duckett has led the organization since 2000, and seen the agency through major transitions and growth. Both the number of clients treated and the budget have more than doubled in that time. HCS is one of the largest nonprofits in the region and one of the largest homecare agencies in the state. It is well-known in the community as preeminent provider of nonprofit visiting nurse and hospice services, as well as Meals on Wheels and the only public transportation system in the City of Keene. Over 700 patients a day receive home health or hospice services and another 700 receive services from Meals on

States reopen insurance enrollment; both NH and Vt. have special sign-up period because of pandemic
Modified: 2/22/2021 8:04:32 PM
WEST LEBANON People without health insurance can enroll in plans through the Affordable Care Act now through mid-May.
Both Vermont and New Hampshire opened “special enrollment” periods last week, allowing those without health insurance to sign up for health plans through either Vermont Health Connect in Vermont or healthcare.gov in New Hampshire.
The states did so in accordance with a Jan. 28 executive order by President Joe Biden requiring that the exchanges reopen to allow people who have lost their job-based health plans during the COVID-19 pandemic to enroll. The exchanges allow those who qualify to receive premium and cost-sharing assistance.

New enrollment period for health care plans begins Monday
Signups for the Affordable Care Act begin Sunday, Nov. 1.
A new enrollment period for health insurance under the federal Marketplace will start Monday.
Enrollment periods under the Affordable Care Act usually end by mid-winter but President Biden has re-opened it for three months in response to cutbacks to the ACA under former President Trump.
Trump had reduced the signup period for insurance by half, to just six weeks. It ended Dec. 15. Despite that cutback more people in New Hampshire signed up for insurance through the federal Marketplace than in the year prior: 46,684 in 2020, as compared to 44,581 in 2019. Officials attributed this increase at least partly to job losses caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Beating back the coronavirus pandemic increasingly looks to be a long-term project. New, more transmissible strains that reduce the potency of vaccines will likely require repeat immunizations or updated shots to be fully tamed.
Drugmakers are now drawing up their response. As a first step, they plan to test whether additional boosters of authorized vaccines will be enough to protect against new strains, or whether they ll need to adjust for mutations from the original SARS-CoV-2 virus that jumped into humans one year ago.
Rather than a one-time emergency, coronavirus vaccine development could become a more enduring business, with Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla recently suggesting shots may be given annually, as they are with influenza. The possibility raises important implications about how the vaccines will be paid for and distributed.
