- Our History | Amoskeag Health
Discover the history of Amoskeag Health. Learn about our origins, growth, and milestones as we continue our mission to provide exceptional healthcare and support to the community. AMOSKEAG HEALTH'S HISTORY Our Pioneer for Children’s Health Dr. Selma Deitch was fondly referred to as "The Matriarch of New Hampshire's Pediatricians." With a medical career spanning over five decades, she dedicated herself to improving the lives of families and their children while advocating for comprehensive, high-quality healthcare for all. Dr. Deitch's journey began with her education at Tufts University Medical School and Harvard School of Public Health. In 1966, she became the director of New Hampshire's Division of Maternal and Child Health, where she tirelessly worked to establish vital preventive health services for disadvantaged children and their families. Her passion and commitment led to the founding of Child Health Services, which later merged to become what we know today as Amoskeag Health. In the early years, Dr. Deitch was on call nearly every weekend. Not only did she make frequent house calls (which were a rarity back then!), but she even took patients out to the movies when their stressed parents needed a break. Dr. Selma Deitch's legacy lives on as Amoskeag Health continues to provide essential healthcare services to nearly 15,000 Manchester residents in her honor. 1980 From 100 Patients to NH Woman of the Year In the early 1980s, Dr. Selma Deitch established Child Health Services (CHS) with 100 patients, offering an innovative model of healthcare that included nutrition, social services, and transportation, alongside medical care. Over the years, CHS expanded to include behavioral and mental health services, a Child Development Clinic, Special Medical Programs, and a Preschool Dental Clinic. Dr. Selma Deitch's exceptional contributions were recognized in 1986 when she was named NH Woman of the Year. 1990 Milestones in Manchester: MCHC's Evolution In 1993, Manchester Community Health Center (MCHC) was founded at 1415 Elm Street as a collaborative effort by Elliot Hospital, Catholic Medical Center, and community partners to provide healthcare for Manchester's residents with limited access to health care . Mariellen Durso became the first Executive Director, with Dr. Geordie Thomson as the first Medical Director. In 1996, Child Health Services moved to 1245 Elm Street. The following year, they partnered with the Minority Health Coalition to improve care, introducing interpreters with country flags. Ed George took over as MCHC's second President/CEO in 1998, the same year "News & Views," a community newsletter, was launched. Additionally, a Teen Health Clinic was established at Child Health Services, and by 1999, MCHC received its first accreditation from the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, marking a milestone in their commitment to quality healthcare. 2000 Joint Commission Recognition and Technological Advancements In the early 2000s, Manchester's healthcare landscape evolved significantly. Governor Jeanne Shaheen and Pfizer Pharmaceuticals recognized Manchester Community Health Center (MCHC) for its role in Pfizer's "Sharing the Care" program. Dr. Selma Deitch, CHS founder, passed the torch on to Dr. Rob Nordgren when she retired in 2000, and sadly, our beloved founder passed away just four years later. A campaign raised CHS's endowment to $1 million in Dr. Selma Deitch's honor, and the Adolescent Health Program began in 2000 to expand youth services. Dr. Gavin Muir became MCHC's Medical Director in 2001, the same year First Lady Hillary Clinton visited. Then, MCHC introduced a Medicaid enrollment process, initiated bilingual case management in 2002, and achieved recognition from the Joint Commission in 2003. Technological advancements followed, with the establishment of electronic medical records, a visit from U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop, and a collaboration with Elliot Hospital introducing on-site lab services. Integrating Mental Health Care for a Brighter Future In 2005, U.S. Surgeon General Richard Carmona paid a visit to the Manchester Community Health Center (MCHC) as Child Health Services marked its 25th Anniversary. That same year, the "Children's Care Campaign" was launched, successfully raising $1.36 million for clinic renovations and program expansion. In 2006, WMUR covered the inspiring "MCHC Story" on YouTube . By 2008, MCHC relocated to its current location at 145 Hollis Street and implemented a behavioral integration of care model . Also in 2008, Fred Rusczek became the Executive Director and Lisa DiBrigida, MD, the Medical Director at Child Health Services. The Manchester Sustainable Access Project identified a healthcare need on the West Side, leading to the establishment of the West Side Neighborhood Health Center in collaboration with Catholic Medical Center and Dartmouth-Hitchcock. Fast forward to 2010, and Bedford Commons OB-GYN partnered with MCHC for clinical support. Additionally, a Family Literacy Program was developed at CHS, while MCHC introduced online program information and a video facility tour. 2010 From Accreditation to Community Expansion In 2011, MCHC established the Advancement department to increase community awareness and support. The following year, Child Health Services received accreditation as a Patient-Centered Medical Home from the National Committee for Quality Assurance. During the same year, they secured a grant under the Affordable Care Act for the Personal Responsibility Education Program, focusing on reducing teenage pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections. In November 2012, Ed George retired as President/CEO after over 14 years of service. In 2013, MCHC expanded to a second location on Tarrytown Road, with Kris McCracken becoming the new President and CEO. Dr. Gavin Muir, Chief Medical Officer, was honored as Family Physician of the Year by the New Hampshire Academy of Family Physicians. The year 2013 also marked MCHC's 20th anniversary and the beginning of LAUNCH (Linking Actions for Unmet Needs in Children's Health) Manchester. In 2014, MCHC united with Child Health Services to expand services to the community and becoming Child Health Services at MCHC, the pediatric practice of the organization. Amoskeag Health: Fusing Compassion & Commitment In 2015, Manchester Community Health Center (MCHC) achieved recognition as a Patient-Centered Medical Home by NCQA, and Dr. Laura Fry was honored as Family Physician of the Year by the New Hampshire Academy of Family Physicians. The same year, MCHC expanded its reach by taking over operations at the West Side Neighborhood Health Center, making it the fourth location in Manchester. In 2017, MCHC received accolades in the New York Times and was awarded the 2017 Health Center Quality Leader award from HRSA. CHS underwent renovations in September 2017, adding new exam rooms and improving the teen clinic's check-in area. In 2018, MCHC celebrated its 25th anniversary and was recognized again with the Health Center Quality Leader Award. Through a partnership with MCPHS University, MCHC opened the Family Eye Care Center to offer on-site optometry services. In the same year, Dr. Lisa DiBrigida was named Pediatrician of the Year by the New Hampshire Pediatric Society. In June 2019, Manchester Community Health Center, Child Health Services, and West Side Neighborhood Healthcare all combined under the name Amoskeag Health to expand services and better serve patients in Greater Manchester. In 2019, Amoskeag Health hosted a congressional delegation press conference to advocate for the Affordable Care Act, and ProHealth opened in October, providing co-located physical and mental health services. 2020 Mental Health Advocacy & Community Collaboration In 2020, Amoskeag Health faced the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic while remaining open to serve those in need. In 2021, Amoskeag Health played a vital role in administering vaccines to populations with limited access to healthcare through dedicated clinics. The following year, NHHS Secretary Xavier Becerra held a roundtable discussion at the Hollis site to streamline and strengthen Mental Health Services. Also in 2022, Amoskeag Health collaborated with the Manchester School District to introduce the state's first school-based health centers at Beech Street and Gossler Park elementary schools , providing convenient access to healthcare services for families during the school year. In 2023, Amoskeag Health continued its commitment to patient care by upgrading their Electronic Medical Record system and launching a new brand-new patient portal in both English and Spanish, enhancing the understanding of medical information for Spanish-speaking patients.
- Healthcare in Schools | Amoskeag Health
Learn about Amoskeag Health's School-Based Health Centers, offering primary care and mental health services directly in Manchester schools. Our program includes nurse practitioners for on-site medical care and weekly mental health counseling, ensuring students' well-being and academic success. HEALTHCARE IN SCHOOLS Our goal is to meet children where they are for their health and wellness needs—that’s why we work with Manchester School District to deliver health care directly in the schools. ABOUT THE PROGRAM We provide weekly mental health counseling and mentorship to K-12 students in Manchester School District’s participating elementary, middle, and high schools. Each partnering school has a dedicated Community Health Worker (CHW) who can work with your family to assess your needs and help you connect with these services and any necessary supports outside of the school district. The School-based Counseling Program provides full mental health assessments and treatment planning with a goal to enhance the overall physical, emotional, and educational well-being of children. We continually foster opportunities to build strong and meaningful connections with their families, schools, and communities. We're fully integrated into the Manchester School District and its "Multi-Tiered System of Support for Behavioral Health and Wellness" (MTSS-B), which provides a comprehensive system of social, emotional, and behavioral supports to promote student wellness and improve engagement in learning . Through this integration and collaboration, the School-Based Counseling Program develops individualized treatment plans and provides interventions to support success. By working with the school district and incorporating elements of MTSS-B, school-based BHCs work within the school to promote improved behaviors and functioning for students in need of additional school support. School-Based Counseling Program HOW DOES THE PROGRAM WORK? Our Amoskeag Health school-based clinicians meet one-on-one with students weekly (for about 20-50 minutes, depending on the level of services required) to provide brief counseling, individualized support, and/or mentoring. They also help coordinate community resources to help students reach their goals, improve their mental health, and their overall health and well-being. Our clinicians stay in touch with Manchester School District! They work directly with the students’ teachers to schedule sessions around their classes. If it’s more convenient, our school-based clinicians can also meet with your child, at Amoskeag Health, summer programs, or via telehealth. The goal of this program is to follow your child through graduation, as research tells us that long-term, supportive relationships increase a child’s chance for success; however, the length of counseling treatment is ultimately based on the individual needs of each participant. THIS SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD FIT – NOW WHAT? Great! Students who want to be a part of the program do not need to be patients at Amoskeag Health, but they must obtain parental/guardian consent. If you would like your child to participate, please call 603-626-9500 and mention that you're interested in school-based counseling at your child's school. The representative will coordinate next steps with you. School-Based Vision Program Amoskeag Health’s Family Eye Care Center partners with Beech Street and Gossler Street Elementary Schools in the Manchester School District to provide eye care for students. Nurses complete a vision screening and refer students to our Eye Care Center for further care. We can offer services to students even if they don’t have a primary care provider at Amoskeag Health. A sliding fee scale is available to make our services affordable, transportation can be arranged if needed, and some students may qualify for free glasses. Our goal is to help every student see clearly, so they can do their best in school. Important Note About Insurance: If your child is currently enrolled in an insurance plan, the health plan will be billed for these services, and you might owe a co-pay or deductible depending on the plan’s benefits. If your child is not insured, Amoskeag Health can help you identify insurance options or determine a discounted fee using our income-based sliding fee scale.
- McGregor Closure | Amoskeag Health
IMPORTANT UPDATE At Amoskeag Health, we are committed to providing the best possible care for our patients while making strategic decisions for our future. As part of our commitment to improving and streamlining services, we will close our McGregor Street location on Friday, November 22, 2024. This closure is part of a temporary consolidation of our locations, as we look ahead to the future opening of the Mark Stebbins Community Center on the West Side of Manchester. McGregor Street Location Closure The McGregor Street site is our smallest location and has played an important role over the years. During the pandemic, it served as our only acute care site, allowing us to deliver essential services safely. However, since early 2023, McGregor has only been open part-time, focusing primarily on wellness visits due to its limited size. Since March 2020, many of our patients from the west side have been receiving their care at our three other locations on Hollis Street, Elm Street, and Tarrytown Road. These larger sites offer a wider range of services, allowing us to meet patient needs more effectively. The closure of McGregor will allow us to strengthen and focus our care at these larger facilities. Why Are We Closing McGregor? While McGregor is closing, this decision is part of a larger plan for the future. We are preparing for the development of the Mark Stebbins Community Center, which will provide expanded facilities and services with easy access for residents on the West Side. We are very excited about plans for the Mark Stebbins Community Center and the opportunities it will bring. Plans for the Future The McGregor Street location will close on Friday, November 22, 2024. As we approach the closure date, patients with appointments scheduled at McGregor will be contacted to reschedule their appointments at one of our other locations. Moving forward, all future appointments will also take place at these sites, where patients can continue to see their regular provider. If transportation to any of the three locations is a concern, we will help arrange transportation to ensure care remains uninterrupted. Next Steps for Patients Closing the McGregor site allows us to allocate resources more effectively and continue delivering comprehensive care at our larger locations. This decision supports our ongoing efforts to provide high-quality care and ensures the financial sustainability of our services as we prepare for the future. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us. You can reach us at (603) 626-9500. Thank you for your support as we work to strengthen integrated healthcare services to our community. Supporting Quality Care
