Patient-Centered Primary Care at MCH

Primary care clinicians play a vital role in keeping our communities healthy. While they diagnose and treat many routine healthcare issues, these highly trained medical professionals are also the first line of defense when it comes to detecting symptoms that might indicate a more serious health problem.

“At MCH, we provide care using a Patient Centered Medical Home model,” says Cynthia McGuire, President and CEO. “This team-centered approach provides each patient with an individualized and coordinated healthcare plan, which helps our clinicians develop an acute awareness of a patient’s overall health.”

The team at Jaffrey Family Medicine exemplifies the special patient-provider relationship that can be found in all of MCH’s primary care practices.

“Our number one goal is to get to know our patients and develop a baseline measure of their health,” says Dr. Marc Winiecki, a family physician. “Living in a small community, our patients are not just a medical chart—they’re our friends and neighbors. That unique relationship allows us to better monitor their health and recognize potential issues that might arise.”

As a critical access hospital, MCH’s primary service area is comprised of 13 towns, which further highlights the importance of primary care practices in rural communities like those found in the Monadnock Region.

“Our primary care practices—located on our Peterborough campus as well as in Antrim, Jaffrey, New Ipswich, and Rindge—are a critical component of our mission to meet the healthcare needs of the communities we serve,” says McGuire. “As a result, we are able to provide an exceptional healthcare experience for every patient.”
