Since our founding, Monadnock Community Hospital has always sought out opportunities to expand our services by adding new techniques, new technologies, and new environments for care. Over the past year we have introduced cutting-edge surgical procedures, revitalized key services, incorporated advanced equipment, and designed spaces to aid healing.

Monadnock Gastroenterology Associates

This year, we introduced Monadnock Gastroenterology Associates. This new practice, led by Dr. Michael Gilbert, offers patients the latest care and treatment options for a wide range of digestive conditions and disorders affecting the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, rectum, pancreas, gallbladder, and bile ducts.

Sports Rehabilitation Turf

As part of our recent renovation project to add 3,500 square feet of therapeutic space to our Rehabilitation Department at the Bond Wellness Center, we have installed outdoor athletic turf and rubberized matting. Here, patients will have the opportunity to enhance dynamic balance and agility through sport specific movements, such as executing a golf swing or lunging to reach a challenging pickleball.

Spine Care

Your spine is at the center of your body and your health, giving your body structure and protecting the root of your nervous system: your spinal cord. The Spine Care Team at Monadnock Orthopaedic Associates, led by Dr. Vache Hambardzumyan and Tom Quinn, PA-C, has introduced an array of spinal surgery procedures to address congenital and developmental deformities, degenerative conditions, and injuries—all with a focus on minimally invasive techniques.

CT Scanner

Thanks to the support of our donors, MCH Radiology is now home to a Toshiba 80-slice high-speed helical CT (computed tomography) scanner, able to produce exceptional quality images of any part of the body with very short scan time and at a lower dose of radiation. The new scanner is located adjacent to the emergency department which is especially useful for trauma cases in which time is of the essence.

Trigger Finger Release

Each year, more than 200,000 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with trigger finger—inflammation of a tendon in the hand, causing stiffness and pain in the affected finger. Some of those people are right here in the Monadnock Region. That’s why we’ve introduced minimally invasive Trigger Finger Release with Dr. Brad White, a new innovative surgical solution guided by ultrasound, to alleviate pain and get people back to full function faster than traditional surgeries.

Educational Opportunities

Since the pandemic had put community education offerings on hold, over the past year, MCH has begun to offer multiple education opportunities again, including the “Baby & Me” group, First Aid and CPR training, and field trips for local homeschooled children. Our Health and Wellness seminars have seen great attendance for a wide variety of topics. Additionally, our collaboration with local support groups, including AA, has offered a safe space to those seeking solace and recovery. Each initiative highlights our commitment to a stronger, healthier, and more resilient community.
