Kerry Norton, RN, is the Co-Founder and Executive Director of Hope on Haven Hill (HHH), a nationally recognized nonprofit dedicated to supporting pregnant and parenting women affected by substance use disorder and helping families heal through comprehensive, trauma-informed care. 

A lifelong Seacoast resident and registered nurse since 1993, Kerry has devoted her career to maternal and child health. Her experience in labor and delivery, prenatal care, pediatrics, childbirth education, and parenting support gave her a firsthand understanding of the barriers women face when seeking treatment during pregnancy. One young mother’s struggle to access care inspired Kerry to take action. After sharing her frustration publicly through social media, an overwhelming response from community members, healthcare providers, and state leaders led to the creation of Hope on Haven Hill in 2015. 

When Hope on Haven Hill opened its doors, it was one of only two residential treatment programs in New Hampshire serving pregnant and parenting women and the only program of its kind on the Seacoast. Under Kerry’s leadership, the organization has grown from a single residential treatment program into a comprehensive continuum of care. Today, Hope on Haven Hill provides residential treatment, outpatient and intensive outpatient treatment, recovery housing, affordable housing, integrated medical and behavioral healthcare, psychiatric services, medication-assisted treatment, case management, peer recovery support, parenting education, childcare, child development services, wellness programming, and family support—all designed to strengthen mothers, children, and families. 

In 2019, Kerry led the opening of Abi’s Place, a recovery housing program for women and their children. In 2023, Hope on Haven Hill expanded again with The Center for Hope & Wellness, a multidisciplinary outpatient facility designed to remove barriers to treatment by bringing healthcare, behavioral health, childcare, wellness, and recovery supports together under one roof. The organization also launched Camilla’s Place, its first affordable housing program, further expanding long-term recovery supports for families. 

Over the past decade, Hope on Haven Hill has served more than a thousand women and their babies and children, becoming a statewide leader in integrated, family-centered substance use disorder treatment. Kerry remains committed to ensuring that every woman has access to compassionate, evidence-based care and the opportunity to build a healthy future for herself and her family. 

Kerry is a passionate advocate for changing how communities respond to addiction. She believes substance use disorder should be treated like any other chronic medical condition—with compassion, evidence-based care, and hope. She is a frequent speaker on maternal health, recovery, and systems change, working to reduce stigma and improve access to treatment for families across New Hampshire and beyond. 

Her work has received national recognition. Kerry and Hope on Haven Hill have been featured by ABC News’ 20/20 with David Muir, NHPR, The New York Times, Women’s Day, and numerous regional and national media outlets. 

Kerry has received numerous honors recognizing her leadership and innovation, including: 

• Addiction Policy Forum Innovator of the Year and Pillars of Excellence Award (2019) 
• New Hampshire Center for Nonprofits Impact Award (2023) 
• New Hampshire Business Review Outstanding Women in Business (2023) 
• New Hampshire Alcohol & Drug Counselors Association President’s Award (2023) 
• General Federation of Women’s Clubs of New Hampshire Unity Award (2024) 
• Pro Football Hall of Fame Award of Character (2026) 

Kerry serves on numerous boards and advisory groups, including the Strafford County Public Health Network Board of Directors, the Rochester Rotary Board of Directors (including serving as President), New Hampshire’s Recovery Friendly Workplace Advisory Board, and the New Hampshire Maternal Mortality Review Committee. She remains an active advocate for policies and partnerships that improve maternal and family health outcomes. 

Above all, Kerry considers her greatest accomplishment to be her family. She is deeply grateful that both of her sons found recovery and have built healthy, meaningful lives. She and her husband, Russ, enjoy spending time with their three adult children, their spouses, and six grandchildren. Outside of work, Kerry enjoys traveling, running, hiking New Hampshire’s mountains, and sharing stories of leadership, resilience, recovery, and hope.
