At Cheshire Medical Center, the health and wellness of every member of our community is at the heart of our mission.
In this issue, we celebrate National Nutrition Month with food tips from Cheshire's outpatient registered dietitians.
We highlight how Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health's Transgender Health Program helps local families; and a Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) committee member reports on their essential role in meeting Cheshire's mission.
Plus, one nurse shares why she left Cheshire and why she decided to return, and another ICU nurse joined Congresswoman Kuster for the State of the Union Address.
