Lynne Weinhrauch, MSN NP
HPG Liasion
Lynne Weihrauch is a retired Family Nurse Practitioner who specialized in HIV and Infectious Diseases. Lynne also served for many years as a member of the New Hampshire HIV Community Planning Group and currently sits on the New Hampshire HIV Planning Group’s Advisory Committee and Co-Chairs its PrEP Committee. Lynne’s passion for working in the HIV field for over 30 years was born out of a feeling of helplessness watching friends and family die far too young but her commitment to caring for people living with HIV and preventing those at risk from getting the infection grew from her promise to her earlier patients to help people live the dream to love safely and live healthy and happily.

Special thanks to the Chicago PrEP Working Group's PrEP4Love campaign for direction with this project, and to Bella Jacoby and Ethan Wise for graphic design. Granite State PrEP Connect was originally supported in part by an Albert Schweitzer Fellowship, a program that allows fellows to design and implement community-based prevention and intervention projects that address health issues in communities across the country. Other members of the New Hampshire HIV Planning Group PrEP Committee have been instrumental in improving this project.
