Let me introduce myself... I am Jessica Ganchi, RN BS.

I was born in NH and was raised in Laconia. After going to college and moving to Maine thereafter, I returned to Laconia 7 years later. I graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a Bachelor's degree in Nursing. My long-term goal has always been to be a School Nurse, but I took a round-about way of getting here! I was an adult Cardiac Care nurse at Maine Medical Center (Portland, ME) and Concord Hospital (Concord, NH) for many years.  I then transitioned to working in a doctor's office specializing in Family Care, where I worked for 3 years. As my daughter became of school age, I was fortunate enough to become the School Nurse at Woodland Heights.

I am married and we have two children- a daughter and son-  and we enjoy camping, swimming, playing games, and skiing/snowboarding. We love to be outdoors as much as possible.

I truly love being a School Nurse in the community that I live in. I cherish your children and feel fortunate that I get to help in their education about health and wellness.
