Sarah Hogate Bacon Emergency Services Department
State of the art emergency room for our community.
A very impressive place for very important people like you.
When you or someone you love has a medical emergency, you want the best care available. And now that care is available right here in our community, at the new Sarah Hogate Bacon Emergency Services Department at Monadnock Community Hospital.
The MCH emergency room represents an impressive advance in patient care for our community. In addition to increased capacity, we can now offer patients more privacy. More lifesaving technology. And faster admissions. Everything that our community – and you — deserve.
Greeted and cared for the moment you arrive
Coming to the emergency room can be very stressful for patients and families. We understand. That’s why, when you arrive at our new emergency room you will be greeted and cared for immediately upon your arrival – and with our new bedside check-in we’ll get you admitted as soon as possible.
The doctor is IN … 24 hours a day
You should never have to wait to see an emergency room doctor – and at MCH, you won’t. We offer 24-hour physician coverage to ensure that all of our patients get the expert diagnoses and care they need.
Beautiful patient rooms, waiting areas and offices
A great emergency room should be as comfortable and private as possible, and ours fits the bill, with private patient rooms, tastefully decorated waiting rooms and family areas, a beautifully efficient nurses’ station – even a specially dedicated office space for EMTs to write reports.
We’re here for you
You may never need to visit our new emergency room…and we hope you don’t. But if you do, isn’t it nice to know that the advanced care you need is right here in our community, 24/7?
With a little help from our friends
The Sarah Hogate Bacon Emergency Services Department (ED) at MCH could not have been built without the generous support of our community.

Providers from Antrim Fire and Ambulance, Dublin Fire Department, Francestown Fire Department, Greenfield Fire Department, Hancock Fire Department, Jaffrey Fire Department, Jaffrey-Rindge Memorial Ambulance, New Ipswich Fire Department, Peterborough Fire and Rescue, Rindge Fire Department, Souhegan Valley Ambulance, and Temple Fire Department attended the evening’s event at the Monadnock Country Club, where they were honored as vital members of the community. Doctors, physician assistants, and nurses from the MCH Emergency Department were there as well to celebrate their colleagues and friends. Cyndee McGuire, president and CEO of Monadnock Community Hospital, recognized all of the hard work the local EMS providers do every day. She quoted Fred Rogers from Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood by saying “Fred Rogers is famous for his advice, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’ I look out tonight at a sea of helpers. You are often first on the scene to care for people in their greatest time of need. The dedication you have for our neighbors and loved ones is incredibly admirable and we are lucky to have you all as a part of our MCH Family and our community.” Lauren Morton, Physician Assistant, and a leader in the MCH Emergency Room, thanked everyone for their tireless efforts and for continually giving so much of themselves to help the lives of others. She then had the privilege of presenting the 2023 EMS Lifetime Achievement Award to New Ipswich Fire Department’s Chief Meredith Lund. Chief Lund, who is soon retiring after over 30 years of service to our community, moved up the ranks in this male dominated profession. She started her career with Souhegan Valley Ambulance Service and later became the first female on the New Ipswich Fire Department team. In 2016 she was voted in as the Chief becoming one of only four female Fire Chiefs in the state of New Hampshire and the first in New Ipswich. Chief Lund was surprised and moved by this award and she presented an inspiring acceptance speech with a brief overview of her career. She shared that she is retiring to spend more time with her grandchildren and to travel the country as she continues her work fighting wildfires. She thanked all of her colleagues and friends in the room, some of whom she taught when she was an instructor with the NH Fire Academy & EMS, while others she began her training with in the early 1990s and has been friends with ever since. The Annual EMS Recognition event was the first one held since 2019 (before the pandemic) and Monadnock Community Hospital was pleased to be able to honor the community Emergency Medical Services this way.
