CONWAY â The Way Station, a day resource center for the areaâs homeless population, plans to use a $10,000 grant from the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation to study emergency housing options, say board members Jeannette Heidmann and the Revs. Nathan Hall and Gail Doktor.
Doktor, pastor of the Jackson Community Church, said she and Hall, pastor of the Lutheran Church of the Nativity in North Conway, along with treasurer Heidmann and other volunteers, founded The Way Station two years ago as a way to address the needs of the homeless in the Mount Washington Valley.
According to Heidmann, who wrote the grant application along with fellow board member Julie Bosak, the recently received grant âwill enable the development and refinement of a long-range strategic plan with particular emphasis toward examining and developing housing options for those experiencing homelessness or housing insecurities.â

CONWAY â âThis could be the start of a career, you never know,â said RN Marta Ramsey, clinical educator for Memorial Hospital in North Conway as she and Nurse Practitioner Charisse Hirschfeld guided six teenagers as they sutured supermarket chicken thighs on their own operating table outside the hospital s emergency room.
It was all part of the five-day Mount Washington Valley School to Career Partnershipâs Health Camp, which wrapped up last Friday.
The School to Career Partnership is a day camp program for students heading into grades 7-9. Seven different camps are offered during July, and they are free this summer due to ESSER (Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief) funding for the Conway School District because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
