As part of its COVID-19 proactive surge planning, Monadnock Community Hospital is creating a database of volunteers who are willing and able to help support our staff and patients if needed. Our goal is to include interested volunteers for tasks on-site at MCH, tasks at one of the hospital’s medical practices, and tasks to be performed remotely.Registered volunteers will be contacted with information about specific volunteer opportunities as needs arise. “Community volunteers are an important part of our ongoing planning efforts to be able to care for our community during this pandemic. All of us at MCH are inspired by the community support we have received on many levels. We look forward to welcoming volunteers onto our team!” Cyndee McGuire, President and CEO.
In an effort to best coordinate this effort, the hospital asks that volunteers not call MCH directly.
MCH opened its Incident Command process on Feb 26th and has been planning for weeks in areas such as Logistics, Supplies, Safety, Resource Planning, and Surge Capacity.
The purpose of the surge plan is to prepare MCH employees for an influx of patients with COVID-19. Furthermore, this plan will establish triggers for different phases of the plan that will include staffing and supply requirements for each phase.Postponing non-essential surgeries and procedures, limiting visitors and access to the facility, setting up specific respiratory clinics for adults and pediatrics were all part of the initial phase of the Surge Plan.These actions have freed up capacity at the hospital. MCH is normally a 25-bed Critical Access Hospital and the surge plan has increased total beds to 40.COVID-19 patients who are admitted to MCH will be cared for in a dedicated area equipped with ventilators when needed.Ultimately the plan includes post discharge care for patients including providing telemedicine support, coordinating with Home Health Care, and connecting patients with other community resources.The phases of the plan roll out depending on the number of patients who are in the facility and those who are presenting for care.
“MCH has repurposed sections of the hospital to add beds and care for patients with COVID-19 or other illnesses.Managing infectious disease is part of everyday business for a hospital.COVID-19 may present us with a volume of patients that we don’t normally see, but our hospital is ready.We are working with the Department of Public Health and the other hospitals in the state to best coordinate our resources.” Cyndee McGuire, President and CEO
In conjunction with the Department of Health and Human Services and with assistance from the National Guard, an Alternative Care Site is being planned to further support potential surge at Keene State College.The kind of care most likely to be provided at this site will be care to patients who do not have to be hospitalized in an acute setting, or care of those who are post discharge from an acute care setting.MCH is working with Cheshire Medical Center, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Keene along with other community organizations to staff and support the alternate care site.

Monadnock Community Hospital is working towards creating a path for patients to see their doctors remotely, as response to the COVID-19 outbreak has opened up new avenues for accessing care remotely.
Telehealth visits use a video and audio connection from doctor to patient, and allow the patient to access medical care without leaving their home. It can be used by doctors, therapists, and other health care workers.
Monadnock Community Hospital has already begun the process of doctors consulting with patients via video, and is on track to be able to provide greater access to that service – on a limited basis – within two weeks.
Dr. Greg Neilley, an internist and geriatrician at Monadnock Internal Medicine, said he’s been able to meet with several patients so far using a video call. While telehealth consultations aren’t always appropriate – there is no way to run certain tests, or physically listen to a patient’s lungs or heart, for example, and most critical emergencies will still require an Emergency Room visit. But for many patients, they can receive a similar level of care as if they were in the same room as their doctor.

Monadnock Community Hospital (MCH) was notified on March 22nd by the NH Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) that a patient who was tested at our hospital is positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus. All proper precautions were taken with this patient to ensure the least amount of risk to our patients, colleagues and visitors. The team was prepared to care for this patient and followed protocols appropriately. Our preparedness efforts around the virus are in line with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and DHHS guidelines. We are unable to provide specific information on the patient. We are working with DHHS to evaluate and understand if there are people who have been in close contact with this patient who may have had exposure.
“As your community hospital, we frequently and effectively provide care for those with infectious diseases. We have been preparing for the potential presence of the virus in our broader community and we are confident in our ability to maintain the health and safety of our staff, patients and visitors. As a reminder, we all must be vigilant in following appropriate steps to protect ourselves, including physical distancing, and hand hygiene standards.I am so proud of our team at MCH and grateful for their amazing dedication and teamwork over the past few weeks.We will get through this together.”Cyndee McGuire, President and CEO.
Importance of Physical Distancing and Proper Hand Hygiene
The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person; between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet) or through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes.The Medical Staff at MCH stresses the importance of physical distancing during this critical time.Please stay at home as much as possible and avoid close contact with others.Proper hand hygiene and physical distancing are the best ways to avoid getting COVID-19.
If you have a fever or symptoms of lower respiratory illness (e.g., cough, shortness of breath), please call you primary care clinician.Do not go to your Clinician’s office or to the Emergency Department.You will be triaged over the phone and will be given instruction for next steps regarding your care.
“Your Primary Care Offices and Clinicians remain available to you. We are minimizing face to face visits and providing telephonic support wherever we can and providing face to face visits when necessary. More robust Telehealth options are forthcoming. These efforts are also consistent with CDC and NH DHHS recommendations." Dr. Luc Shippee, Monadnock Internal Medicine and Medical Director for Monadnock Health Partners
In an effort to conserve resources and best care for our community, MCH has temporarily consolidated primary care offices.
Patients of Monadnock Family Care - will temporarily be served at either Monadnock Internal Medicine or Monadnock Regional Pediatrics.
Patients of New Ipswich Family Medicine will temporarily be served by Jaffrey Family Medicine.
Patients of Rindge Family Practice will temporarily be served by Jaffrey Family Medicine.
Clinicians of the consolidated practices are serving MCH in a different capacity during this time.Due to the high volume of calls, please limit calling your Primary Care Office only if you have an urgent health concern.
Still Accepting Donations of Personal Protective Equipment
To address the nationwide shortages of healthcare supplies, MCH continues to accept donations of unused masks, face shields, goggles, isolation gowns, gloves and hand sanitizer. "We are very grateful for the generous donations we are receiving from individuals and businesses in our community, it is a tremendous help to our staff.No donation is too small.” said Cynthia McGuire, President and CEO.
We are asking for only new items please, still in the package.Donations can be dropped off at Monadnock Community Hospital, Loading Dock #2, Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.MCH, 452 Old Street Rd, Peterborough, NH.For questions or if you would like to make donation arrangements for drop off at an alternative location or time, please contact Laura Gingras, VP Community Relations and Philanthropy, at: 603-924-4666 or Laura.Gingras@mchmail.org
MCH Welcomes Homemade Fabric Masks
According to the CDC, fabric masks are a crisis response option when other supplies have been exhausted.MCH has seen an outpouring of support to make fabric masks to be used to cover clinical masks so that the clinical mask can be reused.The fabric masks will be washed and used again as well.
PLEASE do not bring the masks directly to the hospital; we are trying to limit traffic as much as possible.
We are using five community drop-off locations:
Jaffrey Grade School (School Street, Jaffrey)
First Service Title Company (Main Street, Jaffrey)
Rindge Memorial School (School Street, Rindge)
Peterborough Town Library (Concord Street in Peterborough)

Thank you so much for your interest and care. Orders for standard/disposable masks are on long back-orders, due to both demand and supply chain issues. Other hospitals across the country are reporting the same supply concerns.According to the CDC, fabric masks are a crisis response option when other supplies have been exhausted.
“Prior to modern disposable masks, washable fabric masks were standard use for hospitals,” said Dr. Michael Lindberg, Chief Medical Officer for MCH.“We will be able to sterilize these masks and use them repeatedly as needed. While it’s less than ideal, we want to do our best to protect our staff and patients during this pandemic.”
If you have questions, please email or call Sadie Halliday at (603) 660-2321 or Sadie.Halliday@beangroup.com, or Cathy Maki at Cathy.Maki@mchmail.org.
PLEASE do not bring the masks directly to the hospital; we are trying to limit traffic as much as possible.

[post_content] => At Monadnock Community Hospital, our first concern remains taking care of our community. Our Incident Command Emergency Preparedness team is meeting around the clock to plan, prepare, and coordinate our efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our clinical leaders continue to be in daily contact with the NH Department of Public Health, the NH Hospital Association as well as area hospitals and healthcare providers. And we are using the most current precautions and information to care for our patients, staff and visitors.
Nonessential appointment, procedures and elective surgeries postponed:
In addition to the changes that were in Tuesday’s press release (please see our website), we have made additional temporary changes at MCH to protect our patients and employees from the spread of, and potential exposure to, coronavirus (COVID-19). All nonessential appointments, procedures, and elective surgeries are postponed until further notice. This applies to all offices on the Monadnock Community Hospital campus and satellite offices. This decision was made under the advice of the American College of Surgeons and the US Surgeon General, and in conjunction with MCH’s medical staff. Our focus is to protect patients and employees as well as to conserve critical supplies. Hospitals throughout the state and country are taking similar action.
MCH staff is reaching out to patients who have nonessential appointments to advise them on next steps. Those procedures which are immediately medically necessary will continue. MCH continues to provide regular emergency and urgent care. Anyone with questions about an upcoming appointment or procedure should call their provider. We continue to evaluate the situation and will adjust accordingly.
Symptoms and Access to Care:
We are not routinely providing screening tests for COVID-19. The COVID-19 test kits are limited and needed for patients who have symptoms and have been evaluated by their clinician. If you develop the following symptoms: fever, cough, shortness of breath, please call your primary care clinician before going to their office or to the Emergency Department. A clinician order is needed for all tests and MCH has the ability to test for COVID-19. If you have traveled to/from countries with a COVID-19 Travel Advisory and develop symptoms of a fever or respiratory illness within 14 days of your travel, contact your primary care provider for evaluation. If you do not have a primary care provider call Monadnock Internal Medicine at 603-924-4671, Jaffrey Family Medicine at 603-532-8775, or Antrim Medical Group at 603-588-4200. If you have general questions or concerns, please call 2-1-1, a hot-line staffed by the NH Division of Public Health Services.
We have heard from many community businesses and organizations that have offered resources such as facilities and equipment, we are grateful for all of the outreach. Thank you to our community dentists and their staff for their contribution of masks and supplies. We appreciate everyone’s support and cooperation during this time. This is an amazing community and together we will get through this.
We have an amazing team of people at MCH who are working very hard together every day, around the clock. Taking care of all of our patients during this time is our top priority. I want to recognize our clinicians, our staff, and our entire team. People are stepping up every minute and are working in positions that they may not normally work in. Our team has kicked into action proactively preparing our contingency plans for a potential surge of COVID-19 patients. We are hearing words of gratitude and thanks every day from our patients and supporters in the community. Your words and support mean so much to us and I thank you.
We will share changes and information as it becomes available. You can find more information and resources about COVID-19 at www.nh.gov/covid19 and www.cdc.gov as well as our website.

At Monadnock Community Hospital, our first concern is taking care of you and our community.
We opened our Incident Command Emergency Preparedness on February 26th, in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation. We are meeting around the clock to plan, prepare, and coordinate our efforts to care for our patients and community. Our clinical leaders have been in daily contact with the NH Department of Public Health, the NH Hospital Association as well as area hospitals and healthcare providers, to share the most current precautions and information with our patients, staff and visitors.
It is critically important that we all take care of ourselves. In addition to frequent hand washing and covering coughs and sneezes, we all must practice social distancing. Please limit exposure to others as much as possible. As uncomfortable as this is, we must do what we can to control the spread of COVID-19. Thank you all for your cooperation as we work to keep the community calm, informed and healthy. I have full confidence in our fine medical staff and healthcare team at MCH and I am grateful for their dedication and teamwork.
We have made some important temporary changes at MCH to protect our patients and employees from the spread of, and potential exposure to, coronavirus (COVID-19).

[post_content] => Please see the latest update on the Bond Wellness Fitness Center
As healthcare leaders, our number one priority at this time is keeping our patients and employees safe. The spread of COVID-19 is an unprecedented situation, and it is imperative that we work together to ensure the health and safety of our community.
After careful review of the CDC and New Hampshire Department of Health and Services guidelines for COVID-19, as well as discussions with our own medical professionals, we have made the decision to temporarily close the Fitness portion of the Bond Wellness Center, effective 3PM, Sunday 3/15. This includes all membership access to the Pools, Classes, etc. All other medical services will remain open at this time, including PT, OT, Speech, and Medical Rehab Classes. We are following closely the health developments around the state to prepare for additional steps if necessary.
Please know that our decision was made with an abundance of caution, after careful consideration of all available facts and in an effort to protect the health and well-being of all members of the Monadnock Community. In recognition of this inconvenience, we will be applying a credit towards half a month when the Wellness Center opens back up for those who have paid through the month of March.
Please contact Ray Puglisi, Assistant Director, at 603-812-1531 with any questions.
Thank you in advance for your flexibility and understanding.

As part of its COVID-19 proactive surge planning, Monadnock Community Hospital is creating a database of volunteers who are willing and able to help support our staff and patients if needed. Our goal is to include interested volunteers for tasks on-site at MCH, tasks at one of the hospital’s medical practices, and tasks to be performed remotely.Registered volunteers will be contacted with information about specific volunteer opportunities as needs arise. “Community volunteers are an important part of our ongoing planning efforts to be able to care for our community during this pandemic. All of us at MCH are inspired by the community support we have received on many levels. We look forward to welcoming volunteers onto our team!” Cyndee McGuire, President and CEO.
In an effort to best coordinate this effort, the hospital asks that volunteers not call MCH directly.
