According to an article in the April 20, 2026 edition of the Foster’s Daily Democrat, Strafford County and Mass General Brigham are discussing plans that call for Wentworth Home Health Care of Somersworth to operate Hyder Family Hospice House and remove Strafford County from all responsibilities of operating the hospice house. A decision has not been reached and the details remain to be worked out, but Strafford County Commission Chairman, George Maglaras, is quoted as saying that he believes that details will take 30-60 days and then the transition will happen. We will continue to update this message as we learn more.
Friends of Hyder Family Hospice House is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that supports the valuable care for those with life-limiting illnesses. We strive to assist Hyder Family Hospice House to remain a viable, outstanding facility that offers support and care for those in need and their entire family.
