For decades, Craig and Judy Unger-Clark of Rindge have counted on Monadnock Community Hospital for compassionate, expert care. As longtime supporters and members of the hospital community, they’ve experienced firsthand what makes MCH special.

Last year, Judy—an active member of MCH’s Patient & Family Advisory Council (PFAC)—was referred to Dr. Michael Gilbert of Monadnock Gastroenterology Associates for a colonoscopy and endoscopy. The procedures revealed a villous adenoma, a precancerous polyp that required surgery. Dr. Gilbert didn’t just deliver clinical insight—he went above and beyond. Craig recalls, “I was waiting during Judy’s surgery at Mass General, and Dr. Gilbert called me personally, to check in for an update. That kind of concern is uncommon.”

Judy adds, “He also checked in to learn about our meetings with the surgeon. We’re very pleased Dr. Gilbert returned to Monadnock Community Hospital.”

Today, Judy continues her care at MCH, including MRIs and lab work. The Unger-Clarks credit the hospital’s access to local and advanced services as vital to the region’s health. “MCH knows who to send you to,” says Craig. “That is an important part of being a great small hospital.”

Craig says his commitment to Monadnock Community Hospital is rooted in his family’s values. “Growing up, my parents were always involved in our community, making donations to the local hospital every year. It’s ingrained in me.”

That legacy became personal when a trip to Colorado highlighted the importance of timely access to care. During the trip, Judy experienced a brain aneurysm. Immediate access to a CT scan saved her life.

They asked themselves, “If this had happened at home, would MCH have been able to diagnose me?” The answer was yes—but the experience inspired them to act. When they learned MCH planned to upgrade its CT scanner, they made a generous donation to support it. Their story is a reminder: giving to local healthcare can save lives.
