Sexual & Reproductive Health Information Gynecology Services Amoskeag Health has a full-time Community Health Worker (CHW) who works with patients that are due to receive preventive cervical and breast cancer screenings.

LEADERSHIP Maureen Cassidy, MSN, RN Chief Nurse/Chief Compliance Officer My reason for coming to Amoskeag Health, as the Chief Nurse and Chief Compliance Officer was rooted in my desire to build a stronger and more meaningful connection with the community we serve. After many years in community hospital and academic healthcare settings, I wanted the opportunity to work in a setting where I could have a more direct impact on patients’ lives and help address the needs of underserved populations. Over the past five years, it has been a true privilege to lead our clinical teams, including our nurses, medical assistants, patient care coordinators, and nutrition department. Every day brings an opportunity to support and empower the incredible staff members who are dedicated to providing compassionate and high-quality care. What continues to inspire me most is the opportunity to meet our patients where they are, provide positive support, and help create an environment where individuals feel heard, respected, and cared for. Being part of Amoskeag Health has reinforced my belief that healthcare is about more than treating illness. It is about building trust, improving access to care, and strengthening the health and wellbeing of our community. Raised in Massachusetts and beginning her career as a diploma nurse, Maureen Cassidy has built a distinguished career defined by progressive leadership, clinical excellence, and a deep commitment to patient-centered care. She earned her Master of Science in Nursing with a Nurse Executive concentration, graduating Magna Cum Laude, and has since established herself as a senior healthcare leader across federally qualified health centers and academic medical institutions in New England. Since 2021, Maureen has served as Chief Nurse and Chief Compliance Officer at Amoskeag Health in Manchester, New Hampshire. She oversees clinical operations and the Corporate Compliance Program, ensuring regulatory integrity, quality outcomes, and safe, effective care delivery. For three years, she also led the Human Resources department, strengthening workforce strategy and organizational alignment. She partners closely with executive leadership to advance quality improvement, operational performance, and a culture of accountability. Previously, Maureen served as Director of Nursing at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and held leadership roles at Lakes Region General Health Care, where she led multidisciplinary teams, improved care delivery systems, and drove operational efficiencies across inpatient and ambulatory settings. Licensed in both Massachusetts and New Hampshire, Maureen brings extensive expertise in clinical leadership, regulatory compliance, and strategic healthcare operations, and remains committed to advancing excellence in patient care and organizational performance.

LEADERSHIP Gavin Muir, MD Chief Medical Officer/Chief Quality Officer "I joined MCHC, now Amoskeag Health, as a staff physician in 1998. It was and is the only job I’ve had after my Family Medicine residency. I came to New Hampshire from Colorado for the mountains, for the opportunity to provide prenatal care and deliver babies as part of my practice and to work somewhere that would help take care of my student loan debt. After my loans were paid off in 2003, I stayed because I really valued making such a difference in so many people’s lives and because I thoroughly enjoyed working collaboratively with the rest of the health center’s staff in an effort to assist our patients to live their best lives." Gavin is a Family Physician who joined Amoskeag Health in 1998. He is from suburban Philadelphia but has lived in New Hampshire for three decades. He got his undergraduate degree from Princeton University in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology in 1991 and his medical degree from Temple University in 1995 and graduated from his residency program at Southern Colorado Family Medicine in Pueblo, Colorado in 1998. He was a staff physician for his first three years and then started taking on a leadership role at Amoskeag Health. He served as its Medical Director for a decade and then stepped down for two years from that role to focus on the work he was doing with the Elliot Hospital Medical Staff. He served as the Chair of the Department of Medicine at Elliot Hospital for two years and then spent a decade leading Elliot’s Multispecialty Review Committee. He became the Chief Medical Officer of Amoskeag Health in 2013 and has continued to serve in that role. He was a Union Leader Forty Under Forty winner in 2007 and in 2013 he was named the Family Physician of the Year by the NH Academy of Family Physicians. In 2019 he received the Stephen A. Tzinabos award for his leadership and dedication to the Elliot Hospital’s Medical Staff. Last year he stopped doing inpatient medicine after delivering a little over 1,000 babies over 27 years at Elliot Hospital. He continues to see patients in the clinic. Back to Leadership
