[post_content] => Monadnock Community Hospital was notified yesterday 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.
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.
We continue to work in partnership with DHHS. Know that your community hospital is here for you during this difficult time. Please call your primary care clinician if you have questions or concerns. You can find more information and resources about COVID‐19 at our website www.monadnockhospital.org as well as www.nh.gov/covid19 and www.cdc.gov

[post_content] => 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.”
A group of community volunteers have stepped up to coordinate this effort for MCH. If you are interested in sewing masks, the pattern and instructions can be found here.
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.
We are using five community drop off locations:
- Grapevine Family & Community Resource Center (Aiken Street, Antrim)
- First Service Title Company (Main Street, Jaffrey)
- Peterborough Town Library (Concord Street in Peterborough)
- Jaffrey Grade School
- Rindge Memorial school (Conant Way, Jaffrey)
Each building has an overhang and there will be a container in which to leave the masks. The masks will be collected daily and delivered to the hospital. When you leave masks, could you please leave your name, address and phone number so that we may acknowledge your generous contribution.

[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.

[post_content] => 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).

[0] => For most of her adult life, Mary Bock of Temple had a fear of doctors and hospitals. “I struggled with any kind of medical procedure—even something as simple as an exam. Needless to say, that meant that I neglected my health for many years.” After finally mustering the courage to see a doctor, Mary’s worst fears came to light. In December 2016, she was diagnosed with endometrial cancer, also known as uterine cancer.
Determined to fight with everything she had, Mary had her surgery performed at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, and eight weeks later, started chemotherapy at Monadnock Community Hospital. “It took only one visit to the Oncology and Infusion Therapy Center to give me the warm, welcoming, and confident feelings that last to this day,” says Mary. “So many people have to travel long distances to get this kind of care.”
At MCH, Mary was under the care of hematology oncologist, Dr. Robert Pritchard. “Dr. Pritchard is a wonderful doctor who always encouraged me to ask questions. He also has a great sense of humor, which is so welcome when you face these kinds of challenges.”
With her cancer now in remission, Mary looks back fondly on her experience at MCH. “The compassion and professionalism of every single staff member was unfailing. I’ve told friends and family that it was like swimming in an ocean of love. That may sound corny, but every single visit exceeded my expectations. To this day, when I drive into the parking lot at MCH, I get a big smile on my face.”
