A Family's Journey with Monadnock Community Hospital
It’s been said that home is where the heart is. If you ask David Lang of Jaffrey, he’ll tell you it’s also at Monadnock Community Hospital.
David’s wife Pamela had been battling Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) when she suddenly lost consciousness at home. In severe respiratory distress, she was rushed to MCH and put on life support. After a week in intensive care, she started rehab with the hope of becoming sufficiently ambulatory to return home.
Pamela showed some improvement, but her oxygen level was quite low due to the extent of lung deterioration. Eventually, it became obvious that her life expectancy could be measured in days or even hours.
“The Hospital had allowed me to sleep in an adjoining bed for more than two weeks rather than putting Pam in a separate Hospice unit,” recalls David. “They also provided meals to me, a service above and beyond what I would have expected.”
Aware of Pamela’s wish to spend her final days at home, MCH arranged for her to return home under the guidance of a home hospice program. “After we arrived home, she had a good meal, watched some TV, went to bed, and never woke up,” says David. “She died next to me in bed, a peaceful ending to a difficult disease.”
David says he is forever grateful to MCH for their efforts during his wife’s illness. “The doctors, nurses, and support staff could not have been more responsive and caring. I hope the community realizes what a significant asset we have and continues to give MCH the support it needs in these challenging times.”
“The doctors, nurses, and support staff could not have been more responsive and caring.” — David Lang, Jaffrey

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. This exclusive event provides an opportunity to connect with our hospital leaders and Trustees, fostering a sense of community among like-minded individuals dedicated to advancing healthcare in the Monadnock Region.
In addition to the reception, Parmelee Society members are duly recognized in our Annual Report and prominently displayed on our giving wall in the main lobby. This public acknowledgment serves as a testament to your commitment and inspires others to follow in your philanthropic footsteps.
Get Involved: Contact Us Today
For those interested in joining The Parmelee Society and securing a legacy of compassionate care, we invite you to contact Laura Gingras, VP of Philanthropy and Community Relations, at Laura.Gingras@MCHMail.org or 603-924-4666. You may also reach out to LeeAnn Moore, Philanthropy Director, at LeeAnn.Moore@MCHMail.org or 603-924-1700.

“I support MCH because they are devoted to providing the Monadnock Region with world-class medical care. If it was a hotel, it would get a five-star rating.” — Charlie Palmer, Jaffrey
