In the News: Monadnock Community Hospital launches ‘Slam the Scam’ anti-fraud effort

As healthcare scams continue to rise nationwide, Monadnock Community Hospital (MCH) is taking action to protect patients, families, and community members. The hospital has launched a public awareness campaign called “Slam the Scam,” aimed at helping individuals recognize and respond to fraudulent calls. These scams often involve impersonators claiming to be from hospitals, Medicare, or insurance companies—pressuring people into giving up sensitive information such as Social Security numbers, Medicare IDs, or banking details. MCH is committed to empowering the community with the knowledge to stay vigilant and safe.

Impact Award during the recent community health fair. 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.
