Committed
ver the past year we have continued to explore and implement
innovate models of care to improve the health of our patients
and community. Despite many external changes and financial
challenges, our organization and staff pursued opportunities to enhance
quality, maximize efficiencies and deliver a broad range of services to meet
the needs of our patients. This past year, we have accomplished many things
that improve access, health, and knowledge for those we serve — including:
• A renovation of our Medical Home model, maximizing the
collaboration of physician-led, team-based care and further utilizing
Nurse Practitioners and Collaborative Care Nurses in care plan delivery
and chronic condition management.
2
• Blood pressure initiative, which offers an integrated delivery of care
in our medical practices and at community-based locations. This work
was recognized by the U.S. DHHS’ Million Hearts® initiative for success
in achieving exceptionally high rates of adequate hypertension control
for our patient population.
• Successful physician and associate provider recruitment for primary
care and various specialties.
• Expansion of our Family Medicine Walk-In service at the Center at
Keene location (coming in 2015).
• Launch of a new online patient portal, myDH Keene, providing
enhanced communication between our patients and providers.
• Launch of Emmi, a patient engagement tool, providing patient
education in preparation for surgical procedures, vaccine information,
preventative screenings and more.

Center and Don Caruso, MD, MPH, Medical Director,

• Progression of the renovation and redesign of our Emergency
Department to improve patient privacy, better meet the changing
needs of our behavioral health patients and accommodate
enhanced technology such as telestroke, made possible by local
philanthropic support.

• Launch of a dedicated website and planned expansion of our
Healthy Monadnock 2020 community engagement initiative.
Made possible by local philanthropic support and a grant from
the CDC, the expansion will help further engage community
members and organizations (business, non-profits, churches
and schools) to improve quality of life and the environments in
which we all live, learn, work and play.
Additionally, at the time we publish this report, we are on target to
commence our closer affiliation with Dartmouth-Hitchcock (DH) at
the end of this year. This affiliation expands the capabilities of our
16-year Joint Operating Agreement with DH to ensure a sustainable
and robust health system for our community. Both of our
organizations share a common commitment to provide value-based
patient care and advance population health for the communities we
serve. The main elements of the affiliation include increased quality of
care and efficiencies, improved access to care and population health,
reduced healthcare costs and continued local support via charitable
gifts and board representation. We are excited about the opportunities
this affiliation will bring our patients, organization and community.
To close, it’s important for us to acknowledge and commend the
outstanding talents and efforts of our physicians, associate providers,
nurses, staff and volunteers who compassionately care for our patients
and their families every day. We are proud to serve as our community’s
non-profit healthcare organization and look forward to caring for our
neighbors and their families for generations to come.

The support Hayley and the program provide is
invaluable. Without this help, I wouldn’t be able
to afford the expensive medications I need to
manage my conditions.

Our Community
Medication Assistance
Initiated in 1997, our Medication Assistance Program was the
first hospital-based program in NH to provide help in accessing
free medications for patients who are faced with the difficulty
of being unable to afford long-term or expensive prescriptions.
Program Coordinator Haley Compos supports patients with
chronic conditions by providing a connection with pharmaceutical
companies that offer free medications to qualifying patients. This
program provides an average of over $2.5 million per year in free
prescription drugs for financially qualified patients to ensure they
receive the medications they need to maintain good health.
Tobacco Cessation Program
The goals of the Cheshire Coalition for Tobacco-Free Communities
are to reduce youth initiation of tobacco products, to help anyone
who wants to quit do so, and to eliminate exposure to secondhand
smoke. The Coalition, led by Program Manager Kate McNally,
sponsors an extensive array of treatment programs for those who
wish to quit using tobacco, including one-on-one counseling,
support group, phone support and assistance with nicotine
replacement therapies (patches, lozenges and gum). A new learning
center was recently created at the Kingsbury House at CMC/DHK,
with educational materials and multimedia resources. In addition to
these services, we also deliver specific programs for youth, women —
specifically those who are pregnant or new moms — and worksites
interested in creating a smoke-free environment for customers and
employees. There is no charge for our programs.
Kate McNally, Program Manager, Cheshire Coalition for Tobacco-Free Communities and
Shannon Driscoll, patient
“
There is nothing I miss about smoking –
seriously. I couldn’t have done it without Kate’s
support and the one-on-one sessions. It was nice
to have someone who had smoked – that way
she understood what you were going through.
Also having the support of the patches and gum
was a huge part of how I was able to quit – it’s
a great program. Being smoke-free is the best
thing I ever did for myself.
”
—Shannon Driscoll – smoke-free for three years
“
The one thing I would
recommend is using the tools –
gum or lozenges – where your
body is still getting the nicotine
and you’re able to get rid of
‘the habit’ of smoking. You
always think you can’t do it.
Nancy Buffum, patient
It’s the monkey on your back
– I don’t have that monkey
anymore. I can go on a plane or watch a
movie and I’m not craving a smoke. I’m proud
of myself.

T
he first symptom Steve Salamin noticed 16 years ago was that
he had a powerful thirst that couldn’t be satisfied. He also
realized his lack of energy and that his vision was deteriorating.
During a visit with his primary care physician at CMC/DHK, he found
out his blood sugar was high and was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes.
He made a conscious effort to eat more healthy, avoid fats,
carbohydrates and sugary foods, and drink more water. Over the
next several years, his weight fluctuated, as did his energy level, and
he needed to take four different medications to control his diabetes.
About three years ago, after another visit with his PCP, he began taking
insulin once a day. Then he found out his liver was suffering due to
diabetes complications. “In June 2013, I was told I needed to be put
on a meal-time insulin,” Steve said. If he didn’t start the additional
medication, he was told, he would be at risk for cirrhosis. “I had a
serious decision and choice.”
“I said, ‘No way.’” Steve shares he decided to forgo insulin and instead
focus on the doctor’s advice: monitoring every single thing he put into
his mouth. He got a pedometer to help track his physical activity and
began an exercise routine, including walking every day. He joined an
online support group to help him in his efforts. This past year, he lost
89 pounds and now takes only one medication to support his body’s
inability to process sugar.
Patti Schuman, Registered Dietitian, Certified Diabetes Educator, and
Coordinator of the Diabetes Self-Management Education Program at
CMC/DHK, helped Steve get on track with his diet. Patti taught him
about the proper portion sizes. He was weighing his food at first but
he is now an expert at determining how much of each food he needs
to eat. As part of his new program, he checks his blood sugar twice a
day and eats more lean meat and vegetables. “A big struggle for me was
managing my blood sugar, especially early in the morning,” he said.
“Patti talked about all kinds of things to try. She told me that, based
on my metabolism, there are certain foods I need to eat in certain
quantities, and she told me how it affects my blood sugar. It was an
amazing experience — learning about food and nutrition and my
body — and now I feel great. Once you have the support resources
established, and can focus on yourself and your goals, losing weight
and gaining better health is actually pretty easy.”
CMC/DHK’s diabetes self-management education program,
recognized by the American Diabetes Association, offers individuals
a variety of ways to learn about their diabetes and how to delay or
prevent complications, such as eye, kidney, heart, and nerve damage.
Included are group classes on such topics as nutrition, medication,
monitoring blood sugar and incorporating physical activity; individual
medical nutrition therapy with a registered dietitian; one-on-one
instruction from a Diabetes Care Nurse; an informal monthly
discussion group and diabetes prevention class. The Diabetes Care
Network offers patients a multi-faceted approach that includes medical
care, coping skills and assistance with lifestyle change. The team is
comprised of specially-trained and certified clinicians including an
endocrinologist, primary care providers, dietitians, diabetes educators,
health psychologists, pharmacists, physical therapists, podiatrists,
ophthalmologists, neurologists, and cardiologists. “We emphasize selfcare,” said Schuman. “We want to empower people to make lifestyle
changes to become healthier and also identify a support system to help
them stay on course and remain healthy.”
Collaborative Care Nurses
CMC/DHK has recently developed a new Collaborative Care Nurse position to support care
of patients with chronic diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, and COPD. These nurses
work closely with the Primary Care Provider to support patients by making sure individuals
have received all of the appropriate labs or tests for their conditions and providing important
education and coaching for lifestyle changes.

when he was ready to be discharged. “Angie told me I
got really lucky,” he said of his nurse. “Everyone was so
efficient and caring.”
He was admitted to CMC/DHK’s Emergency Department,
where he was administered intravenous medication to
prevent his blood from clotting. He credits J.D. Morse,
Emergency Department technician, for keeping him
laughing. “He was joking with me, and making me feel
at ease,” he said. He was treated for his head and facial
injuries by Dr. Steven Boutrus, first with medication to
numb his skin. He received sutures in his lip and surgical
staples in the top of his skull. “Dr. Boutrus was great –
he kept me calm, was easy to understand, and gave me
options,” Edson shares. His wife, Ginger, said her husband
had a fainting spell during his visit and that the team was
quick to respond. Angela Lefebvre, RN, checked his vital
Providing care for emergencies is a vital service
CMC/DHK’s Emergency Department (ED) provides to
the community members of the Monadnock Region.
The number of patient visits to the ED has grown to
more than 25,000 annually, and the number of patient
visits on each day can fluctuate greatly. To continue to
meet the emergency needs of our community 24/7, we
are in the process of redesigning and renovating our ED
to provide improved privacy and comfort for patients,
support advanced technology — including telemedicine
that brings specialists from nationally-recognized medical
centers to our patients’ bedsides, and improved space to
support the unique needs of patients in behavioral health
crisis. The redesign and renovation work is anticipated to
be completed by late spring 2015.
ne day this past summer, Edson DeAngelis
was at home pushing his all-terrain vehicle up
a ramp to load it into the back of his pick-up
truck. “It let loose and landed on top of me,” he said. His
legs were trapped under the 800-pound vehicle, and he
suffered injuries to his head and face.

An interdisciplinary team of ED and Facilities Operations colleagues came together to design the improved
ED plan. Staff and provider input was critical and work included a mock patient room that was adjusted
and reworked to ensure the most efficient design for the care team, patients and their families.

mployees of Markem-Imaje in Keene are learning when
the healthy choice is the easy choice, then wellness is more
easily attainable. The company is a global manufacturer
and distributor of specialized traceability, variable data and product
identification equipment for customers in the packaging industry.
The Keene location is one of six around the world, and with roughly
400 employees, is the largest worksite. It was awarded the Healthy
Eating Active Living (HEAL) Organizational Champion Award in
2014, recognizing its accomplishments in the areas of promoting
healthy living for employees, their organization and the community.
“Champions are the advocates for improving the environments where
we all live, learn, work and play,” said Linda Rubin, director for Healthy
Monadnock 2020 (HM2020), a community engagement initiative,
conceived and coordinated by CMC/DHK, to implement action
strategies, prevent leading causes of disease and sustain a positive
culture of health throughout the Monadnock region.
Maryanne Keating, Community Health and HEAL Program Coordinator
at CMC/DHK, began working last year with Brianne Chavez, MarkemImaje’s Shared Services Supervisor, to support ways the organization could
engage its employees in health improvement activities in the workplace.
Since then, the company’s Wellness Committee has implemented several
wellness programs and activities. Among them are an on-site walking
path and an eight-week nutrition course that focused on such topics as
reading food labels and preparing healthy meals. On-site showers available
24-7 were added to support worksite exercise, and a lunchtime wellnessrelated program led by a physician who shared information about how to
burn calories, knowing your numbers (cholesterol, blood pressure and
others) and the importance of a good night’s rest. Markem-Imaje is also
a tobacco-free campus, offers personal health assessments for employees
and participates in a nationwide wellness competition that tracks healthy
behaviors and offers rewards for completing them.
Within the coming year, Keating is working with Chavez to implement
Turn a New Leaf, a Monadnock HEAL program that partners with eating
establishments, including cafeterias, to make it easier to choose healthier
options when dining out. Turn a New Leaf is based on nutrition science
supported efforts to promote whole grain, fruit, vegetable, and bean
consumption, while limiting sodium, saturated fat, overall calories and
avoid trans-fat intake. Menu options are analyzed and those that meet the
criteria are labeled with a heart icon as healthy, healthier and healthiest.
Markem-Imaje’s Wellness Committee is taking it a step further and will
be providing guidelines and ideas for a healthy menu for food served at
company meetings.
When many organizations make a concerted effort focused on the people, policies, practices,
environments or segments of the community they can influence, we can all help our region achieve
the vision of becoming the healthiest community in the nation. Recognizing the importance of
collaboration, HM2020 brought together representatives from 11 local businesses and organizations
to participate in a five-month Learning Collaborative to share best practices and help train business
owners, managers and wellness teams to lead the way toward greater health in our region’s
workplaces. Together, the group developed effective approaches and committed to making new
environmental and policy changes within the workplace to make the healthy choice the easy choice
for their employees.

eresa Morris started noticing she was losing flexibility
in her hip joint. She wasn’t able to bend down and
tie her shoes, it hurt when she stood and friends
started noticing she wasn’t walking normally. An elementary
school teacher who plays tennis, swims, and goes kayaking in
her spare time, her new limitations halted her active lifestyle.
After discussing her concerns with her doctor, she was told she
should consider hip replacement surgery. She wanted to put
it off, but learned if she did, it was likely she would need the
surgery within five years.
This past winter, she returned to meet with Dr. Anthony
Presutti, Orthopaedic Surgeon. She learned about the
benefits, risks and options of a new anterior hip procedure
and decided to schedule her surgery for the summer, when
school is out of session. In March, Dr. Presutti and CMC/
DHK began offering the anterior hip procedure, which
involves making a small incision through the front of the
leg, rather than the side or back (the entry point for the
more conventional posterior hip replacement surgery). This
approach allows the surgeon to reach the hip joint without
splitting or detaching muscles and more accurately place
Working closely with the Orthopaedics team, the Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy teams
provide care for those recovering from surgery such as a hip replacement. Outpatient Rehab continues
the healing process and provides many services to improve function and mobility for our patients.
Additionally, the Farnum Rehabilitation Center, pictured at right, is a unique setting focused on intensive
rehabilitation using a dynamic team approach. Physiatrists, Nurses, Nurses Aids, Social Workers, Physical,
Occupational, and Recreation Therapists as well as Speech Language Pathologists work together to return
patients to their highest level of function and independence after a surgery or major health event.
components, which can decrease dislocations and allow for
better assessment of leg lengths. Results suggest a shorter
hospital stay for patients and less pain in the immediate
postoperative period, and a swifter recovery.
Teresa had her surgery on a Tuesday and was discharged from
the hospital Thursday. She walked using a cane the first week
after the surgery, and after five weeks, she said she felt good.
She continued her appointments with the Farnum outpatient
physical therapists at CMC/DHK. Teresa was happy the
recovery time was short and without movement restrictions,
which is typical of this type of surgery. “I didn’t have to take
any precautions,” she said. “Dr. Presutti told me to let my pain
be my guide. He kept saying, ‘Motion is lotion. The more
you move the faster you’ll heal.’” She now does a half-hour
of walking each day and says, “I’m looking forward to playing
tennis again next spring.”
“
I’m happy that
the recovery time
was short and

homas Holbrook remembers summers on Spofford
Lake working at summer camps and as a golf caddy.
He said he remembers a lot of sunburns and was first
diagnosed with skin cancer 20 years ago. The specialized
treatments he needed required the Keene resident to travel an
hour to another facility for about a half-dozen years. About five
years ago, he began to visit Dr. Gregory Seymour, Dermatologist
at CMC/DHK’s then new Dermatology office, housed in a
modern suite of offices in a new building on Railroad Street.
The department’s scope of services was expanded to include
specialized treatments for skin care, including the Mohs
Micrographic Surgery for skin cancer that Thomas needed.
Dr. Robert Guardiano performs Mohs surgery, which allows
for selective removal of skin cancer with the preservation of
as much of the surrounding normal tissue as is possible. The
surgery involves removing a skin cancer one layer at a time and
examining these layers under a microscope immediately after
they are removed. This allows a minimal amount of tissue to be
affected while making sure all the cancer cells are removed. This
offers the highest chance for complete removal of the cancer
while sparing normal tissue, and the cure rate is 99 percent.
Board Certified Dermatologists and the Dermatology team care for patients with
a full range of common skin conditions, including acne, eczema, psoriasis, rashes,
and skin cancer. Cosmetic procedures and laser surgery are also performed.

Guardiano; Dr. Andrea Pearson. L to R Sitting: Julie Croteau, RN; Roberta Allen,
LPN; Hillary Stickney, LPN
Thomas has had about eight Mohs surgeries and is grateful for
the talent and caring of the Dermatology team. “They check on
you during treatment,” he said. “The day after treatment, Dr.
Guardiano calls me first thing to check in. I tell all my friends
about the great team here in Keene – I wouldn’t think of going
anywhere else.”
Excessive exposure to sunlight is the single most important
factor associated with the development of skin cancers, especially
in those with fair complexions. Thomas now wears sunscreen
daily, between 30 and 50 SPF, avoids the sun when possible,
and wears one of the 20 hats in his collection whenever he’s
outside to lessen direct sun exposure. He has a check-up every
six months with Dr. Seymour. “They give my whole body a onceover,” he said. If he ever has concerns about anything, he added,
he reaches out and has his answers quickly. If needed, he comes
right into the office for evaluation. “It’s so convenient to have
this facility right here in Keene.”

“
The hospital and clinic are a wonderful
organization and great asset to Keene
and the surrounding region. We are very
fortunate to have a large and sophisticated
variety of medical specialties in our rural
area. We realize the rapid pace of change in
medicine and technology requires upgrades
to facilities and equipment. Our gift to the
Emergency Department renovation project
symbolizes our support and recognition
of the importance of having an up-to-date
facility to best support our community.
”
— Retired physician Dr. James Robinson and wife
Ann. Dr. Robinson specialized in Internal Medicine
with ancillary subspecialties in Allergy and
Rheumatology. He cared for patients beginning at
the Elliot hospital in 1967 and retired in 1998.

e express appreciation and sincere thanks to our
volunteers who provide selfless service, compassion
and caring to benefit our patients and our community.
Our 170 volunteers come from an impressive array of backgrounds
and generations, ranging in age from 16 to 94, and provide support
in many departments throughout our organization. Showcased this
year (pictured at right) are a group of veteran volunteers that boast a
combined total of 114 years of service to our hospital and clinic. They
bring a wealth of wisdom, humor and cheer that is invaluable to the
care we give to those who walk through our doors. Their smiles and
guidance bring reassurance to patients, their willing attitudes provide
administrative support to bustling clinical areas, and their helping
hands and generosity contribute to the needs of various departments.
Please join us in thanking our volunteers who support our patients,
staff and organization in so many meaningful ways.
T

“
It’s always wise to look ahead, but difficult
to look further than you can see.

”
— Winston Churchill
or the last several years, our Board and management have indeed
looked ahead through a strategic planning process that is on
target to culminate in an affiliation agreement with DartmouthHitchcock at the end of this year. This closer affiliation takes us to the
next level of integration after a successful 16-year Joint Operating
Agreement, and is based on shared values of local control, sustainability,
access to healthcare service, reduced healthcare costs, increased
efficiencies, quality care, and improved population health.
The U.S. healthcare environment has experienced dramatic change,
largely driven by cost pressures resulting from healthcare expenditures
of over 17% of GDP. These pressures have created an environment
difficult for a stand-alone hospital with a large group practice (in our
case employed by Dartmouth-Hitchcock) to navigate the turbulent
waters of change. Our closer affiliation with Dartmouth-Hitchcock will
help the Medical Center and Clinic transition from a transactional
environment (one in which healthcare providers are incentivized to
“do more” and viewed as unsustainable) to a strategic environment
(where healthcare providers are reimbursed for value of care based on
health outcomes and quality metrics). The affiliation with DartmouthHitchcock will more closely align clinical interests of the Medical Center
and physicians to better manage care and it will create more efficient
use of our resources to fund the systems and processes required to
from
the Chair
provide the best care in the lowest cost setting consistent with quality
and patient best practices. By further aligning our governance,
clinical, and administrative activities, we will benefit from additional
collaboration with a larger integrated delivery system — yet allow for the
Cheshire Medical Center and the Cheshire Health Foundation to retain
their status as separate legal entities with their own boards and maintain
a local voice in future change.
Other challenges this year included the continued and burdensome
impact of the Medicaid Enhancement Tax, changing payment models,
and a very competitive physician recruitment environment.
Despite these challenges, CMC/DHK continues to be acknowledged
with various awards at the state and national levels for clinical and
population health initiatives (shared in this report on page 3) that
focus on keeping individuals and our community healthy and lowering
healthcare costs. None is more rewarding than the recently announced
$1.1 million grant from the Centers for Disease Control to further the
goals of Healthy Monadnock 2020.
On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank all staff and all healthcare
providers for their dedication and hard work in the midst of these
challenging times. Their work is essential not only for patients and their
families, but for the entire community. Together, we can sustain a robust
medical community that is essential to the health of our city and region.
