In the News: Amid Cardiologist Shortage, Monadnock Community Hospital to Open Its Own Cardiology Department
Monadnock Community Hospital (MCH) in Peterborough is opening its own cardiology department this fall to address the national shortage of cardiologists. Previously relying on Catholic Medical Center (CMC) for cardiology services, MCH will now offer care five days a week. The new department has received an overwhelming response, with 400 patients already seeking to join. MCH aims to maintain and expand cardiology services, with Dr. Robert Spencer and nurse Brooke O’Connor joining the team.

Senator Maggie Hassan recognized Mary Lawler of Jaffrey as January's Granite Stater of the Month for her lifetime of service, including 12 years of volunteering at Monadnock Community Hospital (MCH).
Mary, an 86-year-old former nurse, initially began volunteering after a 50-year career at the hospital, inspired by her mother who also worked there as a nurse. She now contributes primarily to the hospital's human resources department, welcoming new employees and fostering a supportive community.
Senator Hassan praises Mary's dedication and her embodiment of the "Granite State spirit" - a commitment to service and making a difference regardless of age. Mary's story highlights the positive impact individuals can have through volunteering and community involvement.
