In the News: MCH Awards Patricia Boyd Nursing Scholarship to Support Future Nurses

Monadnock Community Hospital (MCH) has awarded the Patricia Boyd Nursing Scholarship, a program designed to support employees advancing their nursing careers. Established through a $75,000 memorial gift from Bob Boyd and a $25,000 annual donation from an anonymous supporter, the scholarship provides financial aid to MCH staff pursuing certifications as licensed practical nurses, registered nurses, and advanced practice registered nurses.
In 2024, 13 recipients were awarded a total of $52,500 to further their education. The scholarship honors Patricia Boyd, a former MCH medical staff coordinator, whose dedication to community service and education continues to inspire this initiative.

The program stands out for its comprehensive approach to healthcare delivery, particularly in rural areas.
Key highlights of the award-winning program include:
- Providing primary care patient services
- Sending community paramedics directly to patients' homes
- Offering services like wound care and vaccinations
According to the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services, this program is remarkably effective. In 2022, it represented 49 percent of total visits across the state's 12 Mobile Integrated Healthcare programs, making it one of the busiest in New Hampshire.
Sean Burke, The Sentinel's president and COO, praised the program for "meeting a dire need in our community" by reaching patients where they are and improving both health and social factors.
The award was accepted by Joshua Patrick, lead community paramedic clinician, and Karen Bednarski, dispatcher, highlighting the team's crucial role in addressing healthcare gaps in the Monadnock Region.
