His summer residence became the cornerstone of the hospital, and thanks to further support from community leaders, the doors officially opened in 1923. Starting with just four doctors, the hospital quickly became a vital resource, offering modern medical care to the people of Peterborough.

Growth and Adaptation

Throughout the 20th century, Monadnock Community Hospital flourished. The 1920s saw initial expansions with new facilities and services, including the first X-ray machine in 1926. Even during challenging times, like the financial struggles of the 1930s, the hospital persevered. The following decades brought further growth with additional staff, expanded services, and satellite clinics in neighboring towns. The 1980s and 1990s witnessed significant advancements, including the introduction of laser eye surgery and the creation of a dedicated Women's Health Center. Major construction projects, like the Medical Arts Building in 1991, further bolstered the hospital's capabilities.

A Modern Era of Care

The turn of the millennium saw the opening of the Bond Wellness Center, promoting a holistic approach to healthcare. In 2006, the Sarah Hogate Bacon Emergency Services Department showcased the hospital's commitment to providing cutting-edge emergency care. The most recent challenge, the global pandemic of 2020, highlighted the hospital's resilience and unwavering community support.

Looking Forward: A Century Strong

Today, Monadnock Community Hospital celebrates a remarkable 100-year legacy.
