A Winter Message From Cyndee
A Letter from Cyndee
As we welcome the winter season and the warmth of the holidays, I want to personally thank you for being such a vital part of our MCH family. This is a time for celebration and reflection, and I’m thrilled to share some new developments with you.
I am pleased to announce the expansion of our specialty services offerings with the addition of a new department, Monadnock Cardiology Associates. We welcomed two experienced cardiology clinicians, Dr. Robert Spencer and Nurse Practitioner Brooke O’Connor, who began seeing patients in October. They are excited to offer this much-needed service for our community. This year we also opened Monadnock Gastroenterology Associates and Monadnock Rheumatology Associates, further enhancing the specialized care options being offered to our patients, close to home.
In our ongoing commitment to support and connect our community, we launched two support groups for Diabetes and Parkinson’s disease and are continuing our popular Health and Wellness Seminar Series. Our mission to elevate the health and well-being of our community is reflected in these educational initiatives that are designed to foster a sense of community and provide valuable resources for those seeking support and knowledge.
We also want to take this opportunity to celebrate and express our deepest appreciation for our volunteers. Their dedication and selfless service have made a profound impact, and we are immensely grateful for all that they do. In the fall, we celebrated the impressive volunteer tenure of two of our longtime volunteers, Brad Farnham and Norm Makechnie. Their length of service at MCH is an incredible testament to the support and dedication that fills our halls every day.
As the year draws to a close, we would like to thank our generous donors. Your contributions play a crucial role in advancing our mission and enhancing our services, and we are so grateful for your financial support.
From all of us here, we wish you a joyous holiday season surrounded by loved ones. Thank you for your continued support and for being such an integral part of our community.

Being a community hospital means building strong bonds with our community partners. We are happy to recognize the incredible contributions the River Center has made to the place we call home. As we step into the new year, it's a perfect time to reflect on the incredible work being done by The River Center and how it continues to make a difference in the lives of individuals and families across the Eastern Monadnock Region.Their Mission and Your Needs:
Since its inception in the 1990s, The River Center has evolved to become a designated Family Resource Center of Quality (FRC-Q). The River Center believes everyone deserves to thrive. That's why they provide parent education, family support, and community connections in a welcoming environment. They understand the challenges and changing needs of our community, and their programs and services are designed to address them head-on.Building Strong Families:
Everyone from Newborns to Grandparents and Households of One Connection is a major concern for families today and The River Center is addressing that need in many ways. They help individuals grow, learn, and connect. They offer a wide range of programs to support families at every stage. From family support, early home support, and parent and caregiver assistance, to youth programs, kinship support, financial coaching, tax preparation, and the valuable FACT book – the center is a wellspring of resources tailored to our community's needs. Last year The River Center helped 300 families maximize their tax return.Success Stories: Making a Difference, One Family at a Time
The impact of The River Center is best highlighted through stories like Melissa French's, who has accessed their resources for over a decade "The River Center has been there for me every step of the way," she says. "They've helped me with everything from fuel assistance to taxes. They truly make a difference in people's lives." From the Baby and Me group to financial coaching, Melissa attests to the profound impact the center has had on her life. Her words resonate: "When someone has a problem, I tell them to call The River Center; they can help."Upcoming Events:
Here are just a few highlights of programs at The River Center:
Free Tax Assistance
If your household income is approximately $64,000 or less, you may qualify for free tax preparation and e-filing services through the IRS-sponsored Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program. Certified volunteers are trained to maximize tax credits, including earned income and child tax credits, and ensure that you receive the largest refund possible. The VITA volunteers are certified by the IRS and undergo a quality review process to ensure accuracy. They are also trained as money coaches to help you make sense of your finances. The program runs from the end of January to mid-April each year. Call 603-924-6800 ext. 30 today to check if you qualify or set up an appointment. Don't pay for tax preparation services when you can have it done for free and keep more money in your pocket. In 2023 20% more tax returns were filed than 2022.Junior Creatives
