The boards of GraniteOne Health (GOH) members – Catholic Medical Center (CMC), Huggins Hospital (Huggins), and Monadnock Community Hospital (MCH) – have voted to withdraw from GOH and dissolve the system. The long-standing clinical partnerships these hospitals share will continue, providing patients throughout the state access to high-quality specialty care, technologies, and resources close to home.

“We strongly value the relationships among our organizations,” said CMC CEO Alex Walker. “We have strengthened our clinical partnerships and grown to meet our patients’ needs. But with growth comes change and each hospital’s current needs have changed since GOH was created. CMC remains dedicated to supporting rural health care and will remain a partner of Monadnock Community Hospital and Huggins Hospital.”

Over the years, and especially since 2020, each hospital has been faced with challenges both universal to the healthcare industry and unique to their organizations. These have included staffing shortages, the need to grow different specialties, and the effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic.

“Throughout our time with GOH, Huggins Hospital has continued to grow and require more specialty services to meet the needs of our community,” said Huggins President & CEO Jeremy Roberge, CPA. “Within GOH, each partner has had to focus internally and manage its growth independently. We believe it is best to dissolve GOH so we can increase that focus on our local needs and decide what is best for each of our organizations.”

“A lot has changed in the past 5 years and our Board of Trustees has begun a strategic planning process to look at our needs today and chart the path forward,” said Monadnock President & CEO Cynthia McGuire. “Our focus is on how we can deliver accessible, high-quality, valued-based care as we enter our second century of caring for our community. With the current challenges we are all facing in healthcare across the nation, we have confidence there will be benefit in evaluating new strategies for our future outside of GOH.”

GOH will file the necessary paperwork with the Charitable Trust Unit of the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office early in 2023, after which there will be more information available and opportunity for public comment.

For MCH Behavioral Health clinicians, helping people overcome mental health challenges isn’t just a mission—it’s a calling. From depression and anxiety to substance misuse and addiction, behavioral health challenges touch millions of lives.

In New Hampshire, over 37% of residents report struggling with occasional feelings of anxiety or depression, and close to 221,000 are living with a more serious behavioral health issue.* During the pandemic, those numbers increased due to isolation and uncertainty, all while mental health practices were forced to implement screening protocols to control the spread of COVID, sometimes limiting access to care.

“Increasing access to mental health care —and removing stigmas— is vital to our success.” Michele Gunning, MD

“COVID changed many things,” says Dr. Michele Gunning, psychiatrist and Medical Director of Behavioral Health at MCH, “but our mission remained the same: to help people in mental and emotional distress find their way to a healthier, more balanced life. Our challenge was how to do this during a time of social distancing.” One solution, she says, was teletherapy. “Telehealth made a huge difference for our patients during COVID, and it’s a model we’ll be using more often going forward,” says Dr. Gunning. “Patients like the convenience of virtual counseling. They don’t have to deal with transportation, weather, or childcare issues. That can mean fewer missed appointments and better outcomes.” As COVID wanes, Dr. Gunning says MCH’s Behavioral Health Department is focused on increasing its community outreach and services. “Mental health care needs to be available to everyone, from the person in immediate crisis to someone with a longer-term challenge,” she says. “We are still seeing too many people on waiting lists for treatment. We have people who need help but don’t reach out because of the social stigma attached to mental health. So, increasing access and removing stigmas is vital to our success.” This philosophy of care also means providing 24-hour crisis services for people experiencing a mental health emergency. “The 9-to-5 model doesn’t work when someone has a crisis at 2:00 am,” says Dr. Gunning. “We have providers available 24/7, because the need for help happens at any time.” “Helping people work through painful challenges like addiction, anxiety, and mental illness isn’t just our mission — it’s our calling,” says Julie Davison, RN at Monadnock Behavioral Health. “We are very grateful to have the support of our community as we continue to provide the exceptional care our patients deserve.” * NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) “Mental Health in New Hampshire”, February 2021 ) [_page_sections_1_wysiwyg] => Array ( [0] => field_5a79c5dfc5cca ) [page_sections_1_width] => Array ( [0] => normal ) [_page_sections_1_width] => Array ( [0] => field_5af99fbbc9de1 ) [page_sections_2_section_title] => Array ( [0] => ) [_page_sections_2_section_title] => Array ( [0] => field_5a79c51c87bb0 ) [page_sections_2_section_text] => Array ( [0] => ) [_page_sections_2_section_text] => Array ( [0] => field_5ad4c99e98b3b ) [page_sections_2_posts_selection] => Array ( [0] => auto_taxonomy_terms ) [_page_sections_2_posts_selection] => Array ( [0] => field_5e99c1d934e7f ) [page_sections_2_post_type] => Array ( [0] => post ) [_page_sections_2_post_type] => Array ( [0] => field_5e99c7a534e80 ) [page_sections_2_taxonomy] => Array ( [0] => tag ) [_page_sections_2_taxonomy] => Array ( [0] => field_5e99c7e134e82 ) [page_sections_2_terms] => Array ( [0] => annual report, behavioral health ) [_page_sections_2_terms] => Array ( [0] => field_5e99c82334e83 ) [page_sections_2_posts_limit] => Array ( [0] => 30 ) [_page_sections_2_posts_limit] => Array ( [0] => field_5e99c85934e84 ) [page_sections] => Array ( [0] => a:4:{i:0;s:4:"hero";i:1;s:7:"wysiwyg";i:2;s:9:"post_grid";i:3;s:7:"wysiwyg";} ) [_page_sections] => Array ( [0] => field_5a74c7ee071c2 ) [_yoast_wpseo_primary_category] => Array ( [0] => 4 ) [_yoast_wpseo_metadesc] => Array ( [0] => Learn how Monadnock Community Hospital’s Behavioral Health team is dedicated to increasing access to mental health care and breaking down stigmas. ) [_yoast_wpseo_inclusive_language_score] => Array ( [0] => 90 ) [_yoast_wpseo_focuskeywords] => Array ( [0] => [] ) [_yoast_wpseo_keywordsynonyms] => Array ( [0] => [""] ) [_yoast_wpseo_estimated-reading-time-minutes] => Array ( [0] => 1 ) [_yoast_indexnow_last_ping] => Array ( [0] => 1741643375 ) [page_sections_3_section_title] => Array ( [0] => ) [_page_sections_3_section_title] => Array ( [0] => field_5ada5134d3021 ) [page_sections_3_wysiwyg] => Array ( [0] =>
