At Cheshire Medical Center, the health and wellness of every member of our community is at the heart of our mission.
You may notice a fresh, new look for our newsletter. Cheshire Medical Center and other Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health members are now Dartmouth Health—a healthcare system grounded in outstanding medical expertise and woven into the fabric of our communities.
April is both Donate Life and Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Please learn more and get involved!
Plus, we highlight Right This Way, a program from the Center for Population Health. We also address the care your children may need to catch up on after the most recent COVID-19 surge.
Catching Up on Kids' Care
Many had to delay preventative or routine care during the most recent COVID-19 surge, but now is the time to catch up on your child's essential care—from screenings and shots to mental health assistance.
Raising Awareness About Sexual Assault: SANE Care
Over 30% of people in the US report experiencing sexual violence. Survivors of sexual assault can seek a medical exam to make sure their body is healthy, as specially trained members of Cheshire's SANE team are always available.
Spotlight on Forensic Nursing
Victims of violence in any form require care from nurses specially trained to treat trauma, collect evidence, and provide legal testimony. Cheshire’s forensic nurses take a holistic, respectful approach to caring for survivors.
Let Life Bloom: Organ and Tissue Donation Turn a Time of Loss into a Time of Hope
Our staff proudly supports the National Donate Life Month campaign because a single donor can help so many people—including their own family.
COVID-19 Booster Clinic
On Thursday, April 21 from 4:00 to 7:00 pm, Cheshire Medical Center will host a clinic for 1st and 2nd booster shots. Established patients and employees can schedule an appointment for this clinic by calling their Primary Care team. Learn more about eligibility and recommendations for 2nd boosters at cheshiremed.org/vaccine.

Right This Way for Better Mental Health
