Rheumatology at Monadnock Community Hospital
Please join us in welcoming Jonathan D. Krant, MD, FACP and the new Monadnock Rheumatology Associates (MRA) practice to MCH! Dr. Krant will be leading the team at our new practice, Monadnock Rheumatology Associates, located inside the Oncology and Infusion Therapy Center in the Bond Wellness Center.
Dr. Jonathan Krant brings a wealth of experience as an expert Rheumatology clinician and accomplished researcher with over 30 years of experience. Before joining MCH, Dr. Krant served as Rheumatology Section Chief for Memorial Health System in Marietta, Ohio, and was Chairman of Medicine for Adirondack Health Systems. He also served as the Chief Medical Officer of the Trudeau Institute, both in Saranac Lake, New York. He was the President and CEO of Berkshire Rheumatology Associates in Pittsfield, MA for decades, among other clinical leadership positions. A graduate of the UMass School of Medicine, Dr. Krant also holds a Master of Public Health from Johns Hopkins School of Public Health.
We are thrilled to have Dr. Krant’s expertise at MCH and look forward to bringing this much needed service to the Monadnock Region.

A Note from Dr. Krant
“I prefer to adopt a holistic perspective in patient care, whether it be a combination approach to inflammatory polyarthritis (NSAIDs, DMARDs, Biologics, glucocorticoids) or behavioral change incorporating weight reduction, gabapentinoids, SSRIs and other adjuvant therapies used to change self-perception and pain thresholds which are life limiting. I work closely with the other medical specialties including dermatology, pulmonary and renal medicine, and emphasize clear communication and appreciation of alternative approaches to problem-solving. I look forward to serving the Monadnock Region.”
