Mary Bock's Triumph Over Uterine Cancer with Care from MCH
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.”

Securing a Legacy of Compassionate Care: Explore Planned Giving with The Parmelee Society
Your will or estate plan is a testament to your values and aspirations. For many, the inclusion of charitable giving in these plans is a powerful way to contribute to a better world for future generations.
Planned Gifts come in various sizes, ranging from $1,000 to $1,000,000 or more, providing individuals with diverse options for making a lasting impact. These options include making a bequest, utilizing retirement plan assets, exploring charitable gift annuities, donating real estate, or even using stocks and mutual funds for charitable contributions.
The Parmelee Society: Honoring Your Commitment to Community Health
The Parmelee Society is a distinguished group that recognizes and honors individuals who have chosen to include Monadnock Community Hospital (MCH) in their will or estate plan. Embracing a legacy that spans a hundred years, this society embodies a commitment to supporting community healthcare, mirroring the spirit of philanthropy displayed by Mr. Robert Parmelee in 1919.
Mr. Parmelee's legacy began when he generously donated his summer home to the town of Peterborough, establishing the inaugural "Peterboro Hospital" in memory of his late wife, Alice. Today, the Parmelee Society carries forward this tradition of altruism.
A Tradition of Appreciation and Recognition: Benefits of Including MCH in your Will or Estate Planning
As a valued member of The Parmelee Society, you will experience a host of benefits, including a special invitation to our annual Parmelee Society reception.

[post_content] => Our Community Spotlight series shines a light on the incredible organizations and initiatives shaping the Monadnock region. From addressing mental health to combating hunger, these inspiring stories highlight the power of community connection and the difference we can make together.
In a heartwarming display of community support, local Beautycounter independent consultants collaborated with the community to donate all-natural body products to the Oncology and Infusion Therapy Center at Monadnock Community Hospital. They donated nearly 80 handmade bags, each valued at $40, containing nourishing lip gloss, body butters, soothing teas, and personalized notes of encouragement. These donations aim to provide comfort and relief to cancer patients undergoing treatment. Financial contributions from the community, along with independent Beautycounter consultants Denise Chatel, Ellen Smith, and Ruth Clark, made these donations possible. To learn more about contributing to Monadnock Community Hospital, visit MCHGiving.org.
