About Health in Sullivan County, New Hampshire

Sullivan lags neighboring Strafford County
Sullivan County's life expectancy of 78.0 years falls short of Strafford's 77.6 years, and its uninsured rate of 7.0% significantly exceeds Strafford's 5.6%, suggesting Sullivan residents face greater barriers to health coverage and care.

Mental health access is a key gap
Sullivan County has 71 primary care providers per 100,000 residents—adequate for routine care—but mental health providers number only 227 per 100,000, the lowest rate among these counties and below many state benchmarks. With a 7.0% uninsured rate, an estimated 2,800 Sullivan residents lack regular coverage, making mental health care and preventive services even harder to access.
