Overview
Celebrating a Community of Generosity

Monadnock Community Hospital was founded through an act of generosity.

In 1923, Robert Parmelee donated his summer home in memory of his wife, Alice, creating what would become the community hospital our region continues to rely on today. More than a century later, philanthropy remains an essential part of how we advance our mission to improve the health and well-being of our community.

As a nonprofit hospital, every gift helps strengthen local healthcare. Philanthropic support allows us to invest in new technology, expand services, enhance facilities, and provide programs that benefit patients and families throughout the Monadnock Region.

We are deeply grateful to the many individuals, families, employees, businesses, and organizations who supported Monadnock Community Hospital in 2025.
