Monadnock Ledger-Transcript
Published: 12/9/2020 2:36:07 PM
Monadnock Community Hospital officials said the Phase I distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine will likely reach the facility within the next couple of weeks. MCH President and CEO Cyndee McGuire said the first phase of the vaccine rollout is earmarked for high-risk frontline healthcare workers providing direct patient care, first responders, and adults living in long term care facilities. In conjunction with the State of NH and the CDC, McGuire said the hospital administration was asked to identify staff members who meet the requirements for the initial distribution of the vaccine. McGuire said that approximately 230 employees of the Peterborough-based hospital, including those in the Emergency Department, inpatient Medical Unit, Birthing Suite, Oncology, physician practices, lab, and radiology – anyone who are giving direct clinical care. “My understanding is that the vaccine will be at no cost to the hospital or to the patient,” McGuire said. “That streamlines things a lot more.”
MCH has approximately the equivalent of 500 full-time employees, and eventually the plan will be to offer the remaining number of employees the opportunity to be vaccinated as more of it becomes available. McGuire said it’s not a guarantee that all 230 employees will get the vaccine in the first distribution. She said her understanding is the state will receive a certain number of doses of the vaccine and then distribute to facilities based on a formula. “It’s likely we won’t get all those employees vaccinated in the first round,” McGuire said. While the vaccine will not be mandatory for hospital employees, Laura Gingras, Vice President of Philanthropy and Community Relations, said they recently held a virtual employee education forum to provide the information the hospital currently had available on the vaccine and to answer questions. “This is what we have in front of us and we are anticipating moving forward,” McGuire said. “We need to get a handle on this.” The vaccine will be administered by hospital staff, just like any other vaccine Chief Medical Officer Michael Lindberg said, and won’t require any special equipment, training or deep freeze storage units to meet the storage temperature for the vaccine of -80 degrees Celsius. “When we get it, we have five days to use it before it expires,” Lindberg said. Once a vial, containing five doses each, is opened, Lindberg said they have six hours to administer it. “We definitely do not want to waste doses,” he said. From what Lindberg understands, he believes MCH will receive the Pfizer vaccine “but we don’t know that definitively yet,” he said. The vaccine will come packed in dry ice as “most hospitals do not have refrigeration that will hold something that cold,” Lindberg said. Lindberg said that the vaccine requires two doses to get an immune response and they must be administered 21 days apart. An internal vaccine preparation team has been working on a plan for MCH for the past two months, McGuire said. “We will make sure the people who get the first dose are scheduled 21 days later,” Lindberg said. In the case they have more doses than what is needed for Phase I, he said they will find someone in the next tier to receive it. The vaccine is the first step in protecting employees of the hospital, but personal protective equipment protocols will not change, McGuire said. Lindberg cited that the vaccine trials have produced a 94 percent efficacy rate, but there are still unknowns around it, like if a vaccinated person can still carry the virus. “We want to make sure every safety measure remains in place for our staff and patients,” McGuire said. McGuire said the imminent distribution of the vaccine provides a sense of relief and it “will help shore up the healthcare services,” she said, but they are still bracing themselves as the number of positive coronavirus tests climb in the state with the potential for more with holiday gatherings coming up. To that end, the hospital continues to push the message of wearing masks, washing hands, maintaining a safe six foot distance and avoid gatherings. “We still have a lot of social responsibility,” Lindberg said. McGuire said she has not been made aware of when the second round of distribution will be made available for more employees. She said to her knowledge, administering the vaccine to first responders and nursing home staff and residents will not be done at the hospital. While there is no indication when the vaccine will become available to the general public, Lindberg said the conversation has been focused on the spring of 2021. It all depends on how fast the current vaccines and newer ones set to be available can be produced, he said. In the meantime, they have been discussing what the process would look like for administering it on a wider scale, Lindberg said. “This is a phased process and the timeline is a bit of a moving target,” McGuire said. “It depends on how quickly pharmaceutical firms can produce it and safely distribute it,” Lindberg said. McGuire said while it has been a long nine months, the employees of MCH continue to be a guiding light. “These folks have been working a tremendous amount of hours, lots of extra time has been involved and they’re staying the course to get us through this next wave,” she said. As numbers in the state and Hillsborough County grow, with 807 positive tests announced on Tuesday, just one day after NH reported more than 1,000 new cases for the first time since the pandemic began, Gingras said hospital officials meet daily, sometimes twice a day, to discuss the current state of COVID-19. Hospitals around the state are feeling the effects of COVID-19 admissions, McGuire said, but “so far we haven’t seen any type of inpatient surge,” she said. She added the partnership with Catholic Medical Center to take inpatient COVID-19 patients from MCH remains in place as of now.

MCH opened its Incident Command process on Feb 26th and has been planning for weeks in areas such as Logistics, Supplies, Safety, Resource Planning, and Surge Capacity.

The purpose of the surge plan is to prepare MCH employees for an influx of patients with COVID-19. Furthermore, this plan will establish triggers for different phases of the plan that will include staffing and supply requirements for each phase.  Postponing non-essential surgeries and procedures, limiting visitors and access to the facility, setting up specific respiratory clinics for adults and pediatrics were all part of the initial phase of the Surge Plan.  These actions have freed up capacity at the hospital. MCH is normally a 25-bed Critical Access Hospital and the surge plan has increased total beds to 40.  COVID-19 patients who are admitted to MCH will be cared for in a dedicated area equipped with ventilators when needed.  Ultimately the plan includes post discharge care for patients including providing telemedicine support, coordinating with Home Health Care, and connecting patients with other community resources.  The phases of the plan roll out depending on the number of patients who are in the facility and those who are presenting for care.

“MCH has repurposed sections of the hospital to add beds and care for patients with COVID-19 or other illnesses.  Managing infectious disease is part of everyday business for a hospital.  COVID-19 may present us with a volume of patients that we don’t normally see, but our hospital is ready.  We are working with the Department of Public Health and the other hospitals in the state to best coordinate our resources.” Cyndee McGuire, President and CEO

In conjunction with the Department of Health and Human Services and with assistance from the National Guard, an Alternative Care Site is being planned to further support potential surge at Keene State College.  The kind of care most likely to be provided at this site will be care to patients who do not have to be hospitalized in an acute setting, or care of those who are post discharge from an acute care setting.  MCH is working with Cheshire Medical Center, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Keene along with other community organizations to staff and support the alternate care site.

Monadnock Community Hospital (MCH) was notified on March 22nd by the NH Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) that a patient who was tested at our hospital is positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus.  All proper precautions were taken with this patient to ensure the least amount of risk to our patients, colleagues and visitors.  The team was prepared to care for this patient and followed protocols appropriately. Our preparedness efforts around the virus are in line with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and DHHS guidelines.  We are unable to provide specific information on the patient. We are working with DHHS to evaluate and understand if there are people who have been in close contact with this patient who may have had exposure.

“As your community hospital, we frequently and effectively provide care for those with infectious diseases.  We have been preparing for the potential presence of the virus in our broader community and we are confident in our ability to maintain the health and safety of our staff, patients and visitors. As a reminder, we all must be vigilant in following appropriate steps to protect ourselves, including physical distancing, and hand hygiene standards.  I am so proud of our team at MCH and grateful for their amazing dedication and teamwork over the past few weeks.  We will get through this together.”  Cyndee McGuire, President and CEO.

Importance of Physical Distancing and Proper Hand Hygiene

The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person; between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet) or through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes.  The Medical Staff at MCH stresses the importance of physical distancing during this critical time.  Please stay at home as much as possible and avoid close contact with others.  Proper hand hygiene and physical distancing are the best ways to avoid getting COVID-19.

If you have a fever or symptoms of lower respiratory illness (e.g., cough, shortness of breath), please call you primary care clinician.  Do not go to your Clinician’s office or to the Emergency Department.  You will be triaged over the phone and will be given instruction for next steps regarding your care. 

We continue to work in partnership with DHHS.  Know that your community hospital is here for you during this difficult time.  Please call your primary care clinician if you have questions or concerns.  You can find more information and resources about COVID-19 on our website as well as www.nh.gov/covid19 and www.cdc.gov

Temporarily Consolidated Primary Care Offices

“Your Primary Care Offices and Clinicians remain available to you.  We are minimizing face to face visits and providing telephonic support wherever we can and providing face to face visits when necessary.  More robust Telehealth options are forthcoming.  These efforts are also consistent with CDC and NH DHHS recommendations." Dr. Luc Shippee, Monadnock Internal Medicine and Medical Director for Monadnock Health Partners

In an effort to conserve resources and best care for our community, MCH has temporarily consolidated primary care offices.

  • Patients of Monadnock Family Care - will temporarily be served at either Monadnock Internal Medicine or Monadnock Regional Pediatrics.
  • Patients of New Ipswich Family Medicine will temporarily be served by Jaffrey Family Medicine.
  • Patients of Rindge Family Practice will temporarily be served by Jaffrey Family Medicine.

Clinicians of the consolidated practices are serving MCH in a different capacity during this time.  Due to the high volume of calls, please limit calling your Primary Care Office only if you have an urgent health concern.

Still Accepting Donations of Personal Protective Equipment

To address the nationwide shortages of healthcare supplies, MCH continues to accept donations of unused masks, face shields, goggles, isolation gowns, gloves and hand sanitizer. "We are very grateful for the generous donations we are receiving from individuals and businesses in our community, it is a tremendous help to our staff.  No donation is too small.” said Cynthia McGuire, President and CEO.

We are asking for only new items please, still in the package.  Donations can be dropped off at Monadnock Community Hospital, Loading Dock #2, Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.  MCH, 452 Old Street Rd, Peterborough, NH.  For questions or if you would like to make donation arrangements for drop off at an alternative location or time, please contact Laura Gingras, VP Community Relations and Philanthropy, at: 603-924-4666 or Laura.Gingras@mchmail.org

MCH Welcomes Homemade Fabric Masks

According to the CDC, fabric masks are a crisis response option when other supplies have been exhausted.  MCH has seen an outpouring of support to make fabric masks to be used to cover clinical masks so that the clinical mask can be reused.  The fabric masks will be washed and used again as well.

If you are interested in sewing masks, the pattern and instructions can be found on the MCH website, COVID-19 page, and also on this Facebook page. If you have questions, please email or call Sadie Halliday at 603.660.2321 or Sadie.Halliday@beangroup.com, or Cathy Maki at Cathy.Maki@mchmail.org.

PLEASE do not bring the masks directly to the hospital; we are trying to limit traffic as much as possible. 

We are using five community drop-off locations:

  1. Jaffrey Grade School (School Street, Jaffrey)
  2. First Service Title Company (Main Street, Jaffrey)
  3. Rindge Memorial School (School Street, Rindge)
  4. Peterborough Town Library (Concord Street in Peterborough)
  5. Grapevine Family & Community Resource Center (Aiken Street, Antrim)

Each building has an overhang and there will be a container in which to leave the masks. The masks will be collected daily and delivered to the hospital. When you leave masks, could you please leave your name, address and phone number so that we may acknowledge your generous contribution.

Nonessential appointment, procedures and elective surgeries postponed:

In addition to the changes that were in Tuesday’s press release (please see our website), we have made additional temporary changes at MCH to protect our patients and employees from the spread of, and potential exposure to, coronavirus (COVID-19). All nonessential appointments, procedures, and elective surgeries are postponed until further notice. This applies to all offices on the Monadnock Community Hospital campus and satellite offices. This decision was made under the advice of the American College of Surgeons and the US Surgeon General, and in conjunction with MCH’s medical staff. Our focus is to protect patients and employees as well as to conserve critical supplies. Hospitals throughout the state and country are taking similar action. MCH staff is reaching out to patients who have nonessential appointments to advise them on next steps. Those procedures which are immediately medically necessary will continue. MCH continues to provide regular emergency and urgent care. Anyone with questions about an upcoming appointment or procedure should call their provider. We continue to evaluate the situation and will adjust accordingly.

Symptoms and Access to Care:

We are not routinely providing screening tests for COVID-19. The COVID-19 test kits are limited and needed for patients who have symptoms and have been evaluated by their clinician. If you develop the following symptoms: fever, cough, shortness of breath, please call your primary care clinician before going to their office or to the Emergency Department. A clinician order is needed for all tests and MCH has the ability to test for COVID-19. If you have traveled to/from countries with a COVID-19 Travel Advisory and develop symptoms of a fever or respiratory illness within 14 days of your travel, contact your primary care provider for evaluation. If you do not have a primary care provider call Monadnock Internal Medicine at 603-924-4671, Jaffrey Family Medicine at 603-532-8775, or Antrim Medical Group at 603-588-4200. If you have general questions or concerns, please call 2-1-1, a hot-line staffed by the NH Division of Public Health Services. We have heard from many community businesses and organizations that have offered resources such as facilities and equipment, we are grateful for all of the outreach. Thank you to our community dentists and their staff for their contribution of masks and supplies. We appreciate everyone’s support and cooperation during this time. This is an amazing community and together we will get through this. We have an amazing team of people at MCH who are working very hard together every day, around the clock. Taking care of all of our patients during this time is our top priority. I want to recognize our clinicians, our staff, and our entire team. People are stepping up every minute and are working in positions that they may not normally work in. Our team has kicked into action proactively preparing our contingency plans for a potential surge of COVID-19 patients. We are hearing words of gratitude and thanks every day from our patients and supporters in the community. Your words and support mean so much to us and I thank you.

Monadnock Ledger-Transcript
Published: 12/9/2020 2:36:07 PM
Monadnock Community Hospital officials said the Phase I distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine will likely reach the facility within the next couple of weeks. MCH President and CEO Cyndee McGuire said the first phase of the vaccine rollout is earmarked for high-risk frontline healthcare workers providing direct patient care, first responders, and adults living in long term care facilities. In conjunction with the State of NH and the CDC, McGuire said the hospital administration was asked to identify staff members who meet the requirements for the initial distribution of the vaccine. McGuire said that approximately 230 employees of the Peterborough-based hospital, including those in the Emergency Department, inpatient Medical Unit, Birthing Suite, Oncology, physician practices, lab, and radiology – anyone who are giving direct clinical care. “My understanding is that the vaccine will be at no cost to the hospital or to the patient,” McGuire said. “That streamlines things a lot more.”
MCH has approximately the equivalent of 500 full-time employees, and eventually the plan will be to offer the remaining number of employees the opportunity to be vaccinated as more of it becomes available. McGuire said it’s not a guarantee that all 230 employees will get the vaccine in the first distribution. She said her understanding is the state will receive a certain number of doses of the vaccine and then distribute to facilities based on a formula. “It’s likely we won’t get all those employees vaccinated in the first round,” McGuire said. While the vaccine will not be mandatory for hospital employees, Laura Gingras, Vice President of Philanthropy and Community Relations, said they recently held a virtual employee education forum to provide the information the hospital currently had available on the vaccine and to answer questions. “This is what we have in front of us and we are anticipating moving forward,” McGuire said. “We need to get a handle on this.” The vaccine will be administered by hospital staff, just like any other vaccine Chief Medical Officer Michael Lindberg said, and won’t require any special equipment, training or deep freeze storage units to meet the storage temperature for the vaccine of -80 degrees Celsius. “When we get it, we have five days to use it before it expires,” Lindberg said. Once a vial, containing five doses each, is opened, Lindberg said they have six hours to administer it. “We definitely do not want to waste doses,” he said. From what Lindberg understands, he believes MCH will receive the Pfizer vaccine “but we don’t know that definitively yet,” he said. The vaccine will come packed in dry ice as “most hospitals do not have refrigeration that will hold something that cold,” Lindberg said. Lindberg said that the vaccine requires two doses to get an immune response and they must be administered 21 days apart. An internal vaccine preparation team has been working on a plan for MCH for the past two months, McGuire said. “We will make sure the people who get the first dose are scheduled 21 days later,” Lindberg said. In the case they have more doses than what is needed for Phase I, he said they will find someone in the next tier to receive it. The vaccine is the first step in protecting employees of the hospital, but personal protective equipment protocols will not change, McGuire said. Lindberg cited that the vaccine trials have produced a 94 percent efficacy rate, but there are still unknowns around it, like if a vaccinated person can still carry the virus. “We want to make sure every safety measure remains in place for our staff and patients,” McGuire said. McGuire said the imminent distribution of the vaccine provides a sense of relief and it “will help shore up the healthcare services,” she said, but they are still bracing themselves as the number of positive coronavirus tests climb in the state with the potential for more with holiday gatherings coming up. To that end, the hospital continues to push the message of wearing masks, washing hands, maintaining a safe six foot distance and avoid gatherings. “We still have a lot of social responsibility,” Lindberg said. McGuire said she has not been made aware of when the second round of distribution will be made available for more employees. She said to her knowledge, administering the vaccine to first responders and nursing home staff and residents will not be done at the hospital. While there is no indication when the vaccine will become available to the general public, Lindberg said the conversation has been focused on the spring of 2021. It all depends on how fast the current vaccines and newer ones set to be available can be produced, he said. In the meantime, they have been discussing what the process would look like for administering it on a wider scale, Lindberg said. “This is a phased process and the timeline is a bit of a moving target,” McGuire said. “It depends on how quickly pharmaceutical firms can produce it and safely distribute it,” Lindberg said. McGuire said while it has been a long nine months, the employees of MCH continue to be a guiding light. “These folks have been working a tremendous amount of hours, lots of extra time has been involved and they’re staying the course to get us through this next wave,” she said. As numbers in the state and Hillsborough County grow, with 807 positive tests announced on Tuesday, just one day after NH reported more than 1,000 new cases for the first time since the pandemic began, Gingras said hospital officials meet daily, sometimes twice a day, to discuss the current state of COVID-19. Hospitals around the state are feeling the effects of COVID-19 admissions, McGuire said, but “so far we haven’t seen any type of inpatient surge,” she said. She added the partnership with Catholic Medical Center to take inpatient COVID-19 patients from MCH remains in place as of now.

            [0] => In his 24-year medical career, registered nurse John Poillucci has worked in the surgical units of some of the most preeminent hospitals in New England, including Massachusetts General Hospital and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.

But when it came time to schedule his own surgery, John chose MCH—and Dr. David Lewis—without hesitation. Dr. Lewis specializes in laparoscopic surgery, trauma/acute care surgery, colon and rectal surgery, anti-reflux surgery, and a wide variety of other surgical procedures.

“I’ve worked at some big hospitals over the years,” says John, MCH’s Director of Perioperative Services. “MCH’s surgical staff and state-of-the-art facilities rival any of them.”

MCH’s experienced surgeons perform the latest thoracic and orthopedic procedures—like laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication, unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, and other sub-specialty surgeries. In addition to offering advanced procedures, MCH has introduced innovative measures to reduce surgical infections, like head-to-toe pre-surgical washes, nasal sanitizers, and antimicrobial dressings with built-in batteries to help ward off infection. “MCH is truly a hidden gem,” says John. “People think they need to go to a big hospital for surgery, but MCH is on par with the major medical centers in New England. And best of all, it’s right here in our backyard.” ) [_page_sections_1_wysiwyg] => Array ( [0] => field_5a79c5dfc5cca ) [page_sections_1_width] => Array ( [0] => normal ) [_page_sections_1_width] => Array ( [0] => field_5af99fbbc9de1 ) [page_sections_2_section_title] => Array ( [0] => ) [_page_sections_2_section_title] => Array ( [0] => field_5a79c51c87bb0 ) [page_sections_2_section_text] => Array ( [0] => ) [_page_sections_2_section_text] => Array ( [0] => field_5ad4c99e98b3b ) [page_sections_2_posts_selection] => Array ( [0] => auto_taxonomy_terms ) [_page_sections_2_posts_selection] => Array ( [0] => field_5e99c1d934e7f ) [page_sections_2_post_type] => Array ( [0] => post ) [_page_sections_2_post_type] => Array ( [0] => field_5e99c7a534e80 ) [page_sections_2_taxonomy] => Array ( [0] => tag ) [_page_sections_2_taxonomy] => Array ( [0] => field_5e99c7e134e82 ) [page_sections_2_terms] => Array ( [0] => surgery, monadnock surgical associates ) [_page_sections_2_terms] => Array ( [0] => field_5e99c82334e83 ) [page_sections_2_posts_limit] => Array ( [0] => 30 ) [_page_sections_2_posts_limit] => Array ( [0] => field_5e99c85934e84 ) [_yoast_wpseo_metadesc] => Array ( [0] => Explore the advanced surgical procedures and state-of-the-art facilities at Monadnock Community Hospital, where expert surgeons deliver care on par with major medical centers. ) [_thumbnail_id] => Array ( [0] => 38829 ) [_wp_old_date] => Array ( [0] => 2024-08-21 ) [page_sections_3_section_title] => Array ( [0] => ) [_page_sections_3_section_title] => Array ( [0] => field_5ada5134d3021 ) [page_sections_3_wysiwyg] => Array ( [0] =>
