[post_content] => On Thursday, June 11, 2026, Monadnock Community Hospital is hosting a free Health & Wellness Seminar on Advance Directives at the Wellness Center Conference Room in Peterborough, NH. This panel presentation will explain what Advance Directives are, how they are used in clinical and emergency settings, and how to have conversations that help your loved ones and care team honor your wishes. A notary will be available onsite for anyone ready to complete their documents that evening.
Planning ahead for your healthcare is one of the most important things you can do for yourself and for the people who love you. Advance Directives are legal documents that make your wishes known if you are ever unable to speak for yourself. They remove uncertainty during some of the most difficult moments a family can face.
This free seminar from the Monadnock Community Hospital Health & Wellness Seminar Series will bring together four knowledgeable presenters to walk attendees through the practical details of Advance Directives in a clear, accessible way. No prior knowledge is needed.
What You Will Learn
- What an Advance Directive is and why it matters at any age
- The difference between a Durable Power of Attorney for Healthcare (DPOAH) and a Living Will
- How Advance Directives are used by hospital care teams and emergency responders
- The distinction between Advance Directives and medical orders such as DNR and POLST
- How to choose the right person to act on your behalf
- How to begin end-of-life conversations with your family and care team
Presenters
Date: Thursday, June 11, 2026 Time: 5:30 PM Location: Wellness Center Conference Room, Monadnock Community Hospital, 452 Old Street Road, Peterborough, NH 03458 Cost: Free and open to the community
A notary will be available onsite following the presentation for anyone who would like to complete their Advance Directive that evening.

Your liver does more than most people realize. It filters your blood, metabolizes nutrients, and plays a central role in your overall health. Fatty liver disease, a condition in which fat accumulates in the liver, has become increasingly common and is often linked to lifestyle factors such as diet, physical activity, and weight. Many people with fatty liver have no symptoms at all, which is why understanding the condition, and knowing what to do about it, matters.
On Thursday, May 21, join Dr. Michael J. Gilbert, MD, MHCDS, of Monadnock Gastroenterology Associates (MGA), and the Southern New Hampshire (SNH) Weight Management team for a free community health seminar focused on liver health. Dr. Gilbert will walk through how fatty liver develops, what the risks are if it goes unaddressed, and what practical steps can make a real difference. The SNH Weight Management team will join to discuss medical and surgical weight management options available to those who want additional support.
This is an in-person event held at the Bond Wellness Center Conference Room at Monadnock Community Hospital. It is free to attend, open to all community members, and designed to be straightforward and useful, whether you are managing a diagnosis, supporting someone who is, or simply looking to better understand your liver health.
Michael J. Gilbert, MD, MHCDS Monadnock Gastroenterology Associates
Dr. Gilbert is a board-certified gastroenterologist who has served as Medical Director of the MCH Endoscopy Unit since 2013. He is recognized as a New Hampshire Magazine Top Doctor and a Castle Connolly Top Doctor. His practice focuses on digestive health, patient education, and empowering individuals to take an active role in their care. To schedule an appointment, call 603-924-2600.
SNH Weight Management Team
Dr. Robert Catania and Dr. Brett Baker of the SNH Weight Management program will provide an overview of medical and surgical weight management options available for those seeking additional support.
Date: Thursday, May 21, 2026 Time: 5:30 p.m. (doors open at 5:15 p.m.) Location: Bond Wellness Center Conference Room, Monadnock Community Hospital, 452 Old Street Road, Peterborough, NH 03458 Cost: Free

With a newborn son, a four-year-old daughter, and her own health needs to manage, it meant having someone in her corner and peace of mind for herself and her growing family.
“I finally got a primary care doctor after years of not having one,” she says.
Christine called Jaffrey Family Medicine and asked the team to choose a provider for her. That is when she was matched with Scott E. Smith, DO.
“He is so nice. He really cares about my issues and doesn’t make me feel rushed,” Christine says.
From her first appointment while pregnant to routine visits today, Dr. Smith has helped guide her care with warmth, clarity, and trust.
The care goes beyond the exam room.
“The staff is amazing with my daughter. They interact with her, and I think it’s helping her not be afraid of going to the doctor.”
Christine appreciates the thoughtful touches, including children’s books in the waiting room and the reassurance of knowing she can call and be seen quickly when needed.
While managing her own chronic conditions, having a reliable and compassionate provider has been life-changing.
“It’s a relief to have a regular doctor again, knowing I can be seen when I need it.”
This is what primary care looks like at its best: trusted relationships that support patients and families. Primary care at Monadnock Community Hospital and across our network is designed to meet people where they are in life, with providers who listen, show up, and treat their patients with compassion and respect.
For Christine, that has made all the difference.
“Think of how important your health is for yourself and for the people who count on you. You can’t put a price on it.”
