Gloria Clough
It has been an historic year for Emerson Hospital as we celebrated our Centennial and
reflected back on 100 years of meeting the healthcare needs of our community. What has
emerged through our reflections as the dominant theme of the hospital’s history is the
enduring bond between the hospital and the community it serves. The bond is evidenced
by a tradition of community support, and at each and every turn in the hospital’s history,
members of the community offered their resources to advance the mission of the hospital.
In turn, these resources enabled the hospital to meet the growing and evolving needs of the
communities it serves.
From the founding gift of Charles Emerson to the financial rescue performed by the
Emerson Aid Society—now the Emerson Hospital Auxiliary—in 1924; from their support
of countless capital campaigns adding new patient areas and medical technology to annual
giving in gifts large and small supporting hospital programs and operations, donors have
made a critical difference.
This past year was no exception.
Thanks to major support for the Bethke Cancer Center, we were able, with our partners at
Massachusetts General Hospital, to modernize the Radiation Oncology Center and install
a new linear accelerator. Donors contributed a record $1.07 million to the Emerson Annual
Appeal, ensuring that the hospital has the resources it needs to provide the finest patient
care available. The work of the Auxiliary and Gift Shop translated into a major financial
contribution to renovate Emerson’s “Main Street,” giving the hospital a more welcoming
face. And, Centennial Ball attendees capped off Emerson’s 100th year in fashion and fun
while making possible the redevelopment of the pediatric center.
The bond between the hospital and community is not an abstraction; it is often embodied
by the relationship between Emerson caregivers and their patients. In the pages that follow,
we highlight these important connections through four profiles, while we honor and thank
the thousands of donors who have once again supported the hospital.
Sincerely,
Christine C. Schuster

Rebecca
Purcell
Rebecca Purcell was
assembling table
arrangements for a
friend’s wedding in
September when she
dropped a bucket of
roses. Bracing herself to
try to catch them, she
felt bone shifting as her
hip was displaced, an
injury later diagnosed as
a traumatic fracture.
“It’s not a pain you want
to endure,” Rebecca
commented.
Two days after hip replacement
surgery, Rebecca was transferred
to Emerson Hospital’s transitional
care unit. “I had heard of the
unit’s excellent reputation, and it
felt really good to be local and in a
familiar place,” said Rebecca,
whose ties to Emerson run deep.
She supervised the outpatient
department here in the 1970s and
her husband, Dr. Elmer Purcell, is
a former president of the medical
staff. Dr. Purcell is a retired
primary care physician who had a
practice in Concord for 35 years.
Rebecca is a long-time volunteer
in Emerson’s emergency
department. “I love working with
that staff; it’s such a fast-paced
environment, and I decided if I
could do anything to make their
jobs easier, I would,” she said.
After her injury, Rebecca “wanted
the best possible outcome” in
terms of her mobility. Her
recovery was accelerated both by
the exceptional staff in the
transitional care unit and by the
view from her room of the Sudbury
River. “It was so healing for me to
see that river,” said Rebecca, who
stayed on the unit for two weeks.
“My experience was positive from
the get-go, from JoAnn [DiNardo]
and Dr. Karen Bougas and the
nursing staff to the housekeeper
who, as I was being discharged,
thanked me for being there,” said
Rebecca. “It was really just a
lovely moment. I was impressed
with the staff around the clock.”
When we are ill or incapacitated
in any way, the kindness of
others can carry us through the
experience. “Emerson’s
transitional care unit made for a
positive experience when I really
needed one,” said Rebecca. And,
after she was discharged, her
transition home was seamless
thanks to home care nurses and
in-home physical therapy.
Today, Rebecca is grateful for
her optimal functioning. “My
mobility is excellent,” she said.
“My outcome is exactly as it
should be.” For staff dealing with
a patient population who may be
experiencing immense pain,
mobility issues, and concerns
about walking again, Rebecca has
“nothing but praise for them,” she
said. “This was as close to a
perfect experience as I could
have had.”
With help from JoAnn DiNardo, at right, and the rest
of the transitional care unit team, Rebecca Purcell
(pictured at left with her husband, former president of
the Emerson Hospital medical staff Dr. Elmer Purcell)
recovered from hip replacement surgery and has
returned to optimal functioning.

Caitlin
Canty
Caitlin Canty was a
freshman at ConcordCarlisle High School
when a heavy metal door
slammed shut on her
finger. Upon seeing the
extent of the injury, the
school nurse called
Caitlin’s mother, Kristin.
“The top of her finger
was hanging on by a
thread and it was
bleeding heavily,” recalled
Kristin. “I immediately
thought of piano—
she’s played since she
was five.”
Caitlin Canty, at right, returned to her passion—
playing the piano—thanks to the skilled and
compassionate care of emergency department
physician Dr. Deborah Gobetz.
With her finger wrapped in ice,
Caitlin headed directly to Emerson
Hospital’s emergency department
(ED), where ED physician
Dr. Deborah Gobetz assured them
that she could repair the finger.
“Dr. Gobetz talked to Caitlin the
whole time and kept her calm,”
said Kristin.
Caitlin had suffered what’s known
as a crush injury, which occurs
when a body part is subjected to a
high degree of force or pressure,
usually after being squeezed
between two heavy objects.
“Those are nasty injuries, and we
see a lot of them,” said Dr. Gobetz.
“When they occur to the index
fingers or thumb, they really hurt,
and they are more debilitating
functionally.”
In Caitlin’s case, the distal finger
was fractured and the nail was
damaged. “They can bleed a lot
under the nail, so we remove the
nail and repair the nail bed,” said
Dr. Gobetz. To numb the finger,
Dr. Gobetz used a digital block—
a nerve block at the base of the
finger. “The fingertip has great
healing capacity,” said Dr. Gobetz.
“The whole digit was there, and we
know that the nail will grow back
in. We use absorbable sutures to
pull the nail bed together—that’s
where the wound was.”
With help from Emerson’s
pediatric intervention team and
the use of a stress ball, Caitlin felt
reassured. “They’re a great
resource,” said Dr. Gobetz.
“Distraction is helpful; for most
kids, it’s fear of the unknown that
makes any procedure difficult.”
When Kristin initially saw Caitlin’s
injury, she thought it might require
plastic surgery afterward, but
“Dr. Gobetz did an amazing job,”
she said. “It healed really well.
There was no nerve damage.”
It is praise that Caitlin echoes.
“Dr. Gobetz was really nice and
very comforting,” she said. “She
told me it wasn’t as big a deal as I
thought. But she said it was going
to hurt; she didn’t sugarcoat it.”
Caitlin’s finger took three months
to heal fully and her nail grew back
slowly, but today, a small scar from
the stitches is all that remains of
the painful ordeal and she is back
to pursuing her passion, piano.

Bill and Nancy
Kingman
Since 1938, when Bill
Kingman was first a
patient at Emerson
Hospital, both he and his
wife, Nancy, have felt
that Emerson is “the
place to go.” “This is my
hospital, and it was my
parents’ hospital,”
he said.
So, when Bill and Nancy required
knee surgery, they knew just where
to turn. Over the course of three
years, they each had both knees
replaced by orthopedic surgeon
Dr. Jack McInnis, who—along
with the practice, Orthopedic
Affiliates—came highly
recommended by the Kingmans’
friends. “We were struck by his
ease, how he sat back in his chair
and chatted with us instead of
rushing us through the visit,”
said Nancy.
When Nancy first told friends that
she needed knee surgery, their
first question was where she
would have it done. “Emerson, of
course,” was her reply. “Why go to
Boston when you can have it done
right here.”
The Kingmans have had a close
association with Emerson for
many years. Their second child
was born here after Bill finished
his military service. Bill was a
Board member in the 1960s and
also served as a Corporator.
Nancy has been a member of the
Auxiliary since 1961 and served as
that group’s president from
2005–2007. And, through all
these years, they have watched
proudly as the hospital evolved.
“We are constantly pleased as
Emerson has grown and added
specialists and incorporated the
whole continuum of care that a
hospital should provide,” said Bill.
For Nancy, it’s the personal touch
at Emerson that makes her feel
safe and comfortable. “The
grandfather clock that stands in
the hospital entrance is a nice
touch, it means home,” she said.
“We’ve always found the care at
Emerson to be very thoughtful.”
And today, both are “more than
pleased” with the results of their
knee operations. With increased
mobility, “I can do almost anything
I want,” Bill said. “We’ve been
very lucky.”

association with Emerson Hospital for many years,

Dottie
MacKeen
Dottie MacKeen was
touring a castle in
Germany recently when
she had a startling
realization—with the
steep inclines and many
stairs, “I could not have
done this two years ago,”
she thought to herself.
Thanks to Emerson’s
cardiac rehabilitation
team, “my life is
appreciably better,”
she said.
After quadruple bypass surgery, Dottie MacKeen, at
left, turned to Emerson’s cardiac rehabilitation team
and Ginny Dow, RN, nurse manager of the program,
for nutrition counseling and monitored exercise—
a critically important part of her recovery.
In 2010, Dottie, who considers
herself “a healthy person,” began
experiencing chest pains while
exercising. A physician assistant
wisely determined that these pains
were likely not related to
indigestion and, concerned that
the pains worsened while
exercising, suggested that Dottie
undergo a stress test. Two
minutes into the stress test, the
physician conducting it knew “we
had a problem,” said Dottie.
After quadruple bypass surgery at
Massachusetts General Hospital
in June 2010 by a “wonderful team
of all-female doctors,” Dottie
returned to Emerson and the
capable care of Dr. Steven Herson
and the cardiac rehabilitation
team. She chose the route of
cardiac rehabilitation because she
“wanted to get her life back as
quickly as possible,” she said.
In the cardiac rehabilitation team,
Dottie found support and
knowledge as she navigated her
health crisis. “For many people,
this is the most traumatic thing
that has happened in their lives,”
she said. “Not knowing what you
can and cannot do and how it will
affect your health can be very
unnerving. Cardiac rehab provides
a heavily monitored and very safe
environment in which to reclaim
your life. They help you understand
that this is a controllable, not a
curable, disease.”
As part of managing the disease,
cardiac rehab patients are given
the tools to make life changes.
Through nutrition counseling,
monitored exercise, and
discussion topics including stress,
medication, and anatomy and
physiology, Dottie, a self-described
“foodie,” learned “how much I
didn’t know,” she said. “Today I
spend a lot more time reading
labels.”
Dottie and her husband, Jack, a
Corporator at Emerson Hospital,
have had “good luck in every
instance” while at Emerson (both
of their children were born here).
“Emerson is a really important
resource in the community,”
she said.
