2 l 2019 Report to Our Community As professional photographers, Tom and Christine Doane have an eye for excellence. Perhaps that’s why these Jaffrey residents have been longtime supporters of Monadnock Community Hospital. The Doanes are members of MCH’s Parmelee Society, which recognizes individuals who have included the Hospital in their wills or estate plans. As part of their commitment to MCH, they have established an academic scholarship that will support employees to further their education. “Tom and I support MCH because we know how important exceptional medical care is,” says Christine. “High-quality healthcare close to home is very important to us—and to the people of the Monadnock Region.” Tom and Christine are more than donors—they are also orthopaedic patients. Christine had orthopaedic surgery performed by Dr. Ronald Michalak, and Tom has been a patient of Dr. Shawn Harrington. “Dr. Michalak operated on me in March 2009 and the surgery was a complete success. Tom and I work out five times a week at The Bond Wellness Center and enjoy an excellent quality of life.” According to Christine, all of the experiences she and Tom have had at MCH have been extremely positive and have exceeded their expectations. “MCH is a wonderful hospital. The staff, nurses, and physicians are talented, caring, and compassionate people and you are treated like a member of the family. We have found the care at MCH to be superior to the care provided at large medical centers.” community- focused couple donor profile Tom & Christine DOANE donor profile
