“How lucky am I to have this amazing community hospital close by with such wonderful caregivers!” Patricia Krueger, Francestown, NH

“This is alarming. Like nothing I have ever seen.” That’s what Patricia Krueger thought when a large, spontaneous hematoma appeared on her leg. “I could literally see it getting worse,” she recalls. “It was awful-looking and just so painful.” Patricia, a home and garden designer, retired nurse, and former NH state senator, knew exactly where to go for help. “I said to my husband, ‘Take me to Monadnock Community Hospital.’” At the MCH Wound Healing Center, Patricia consulted with Dr. Curtis Kloc, board-certified surgeon and expert in wound care. “I immediately felt confidence in Dr. Kloc and his staff,” she says. Together, Patricia and her team made the decision to perform a skin graft. “I was a little apprehensive,” says Patricia, “because the graft was going to be large. But Dr. Kloc was there for me through all my questions and anxieties. It was his confidence, experience, and patience that helped me get through seven long months of healing.” As Patricia says, her healing journey was a long-term project, one that required skilled care and constant monitoring by the Wound Care Center staff. “I’ve often thought how lucky am I to have this amazing community hospital close by and to have such wonderful caregivers! I even wrote a letter to MCH’s Chief Medical Officer to tell him personally how grateful I was for the care I received from Dr. Kloc; Maria Bemont, Physical Therapist; Jessica Johnson, Wound Care Nurse; and the entire staff.”

“I said to my husband, ‘Take me to Monadnock Community Hospital.’”
