Heartfelt Stories - Cause for Celebration: Garry's Story
A Stroke Survivor's Journey of Care and Recovery at Monadnock Community Hospital
Heartfelt Stories
At Monadnock Community Hospital, we are proud to share our Heartfelt Stories featuring inspiring testimonials from our patients, employees, volunteers, donors, and community members. Each story reflects the exceptional care, support, and compassion that define our commitment to our community. Join us in celebrating these remarkable journeys and the difference compassionate care can make.
“We are here for you.” These five words sum up the mission and promise of Monadnock Community Hospital and no one understands this more than Garry Peyton of Sharon. In 2022, after coming indoors from gardening, Garry found himself unable to form intelligible words.
“I wasn’t making sense,” he recalls.
Suspecting a stroke, Garry’s wife Julie rushed him to MCH where a brain scan confirmed her fears. Intravenous treatment was started immediately, and after a telehealth consultation in the Emergency Department with a stroke specialist, Garry’s doctors decided to admit him overnight. When his symptoms returned the next morning, MCH clinicians were able to further connect with the stroke specialist and together decided to keep him another two days before he was stabilized for discharge. Garry left MCH with a referral for speech therapy to help with language issues he experienced as a result of his stroke.
“I had a very positive experience at MCH,” Garry says, “especially with communication. Getting clear information is really critical in the ER because, as a patient, you’re at a heightened level of concern, but my experience was ideal.”
Reflecting on his own experience, and on the Hospital’s 100-year milestone, Garry finds it “remarkable” that a small community like Peterborough has access to such a high level of care and technology.
“Technology has removed so many limitations for small hospitals like MCH,” he notes. “It means that everyone in our community has access to top-notch care – and thanks to the expertise of the staff at MCH, I made a full recovery and feel great – that’s definitely cause for celebration!”

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.

“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
