Cheshire Medical Center (CMC), a 169-bed nonprofit community hospital located in Keene, New Hampshire, is united with Dartmouth-Hitchcock Keene (DHK), a multi-specialty group practice, through a unique joint operating agreement to form a comprehensive health system. Together, CMC and DHK are working to transform the healthcare landscape and create a culture of health for all. CMC/DHK strives for care delivery innovation through its early adoption of the patient-centered medical home, participation in national quality and payment reform initiatives, and promoting our successful model of community-clinical integration. CMC/DHK serves as the backbone organization for the nationally recognized Healthy Monadnock 2020 Initiative that has the goal of helping our Monadnock Region become the healthiest community in the nation by 2020. CMC/DHK collaborates with many key partners in assessing health and social needs, sharing measures transparently, and engaging the community in action planning and strategy implementation. A 2014-2015 HRSA Rural Health Network Planning Grant helped CMC/DHK, the local Mental Health Center, a Residential Substance Abuse Treatment Center, and the prevention and recovery communities to begin to plan for coordinated action on substance misuse and behavioral health integration with primary care.

Catholic Medical Center (CMC), a member of GraniteOne Health, is a nonprofit regional health system, with a commitment to delivering the highest quality and most advanced healthcare to patients across New Hampshire. CMC is the home of the nationally-renowned New England Heart and Vascular Institute, rated among the top cardiovascular programs in the country. Our doctors were the first in the state to perform a mechanical heart/left ventricular assist device implant and first in New England to implant the WATCHMAN™ for atrial fibrillation. CMC was also one of the first hospitals in New Hampshire to establish a joint venture with independent medical staff members when it became a partner in the freestanding Bedford Ambulatory Surgical Center and imaging center. CMC's birthing unit, The Mom's Place, was the first hospital in the country to have a neonatal unit based on "couplet care." Our nationally-accredited Breast Care Center was the first in the state to use contrast enhanced mammography and SAVI SCOUT® localization for breast surgery. With primary care practices that care for the very young to the young at heart and our dedication to community outreach programs, CMC is helping to foster a healthier community, everyday.
