Monadnock Hospital Systems Down Again
12 Nov
Summary
- Hospital systems outage persists, impacting phone and internet services.
- Emergency department remains open; specialized care transfers ongoing.
- All elective surgeries and outpatient appointments are canceled.
Monadnock Community Hospital is grappling with an ongoing server outage that has disrupted crucial systems, including telephone and internet services. This widespread issue extends to its satellite offices, Antrim Medical Group and Jaffrey Family Medicine. While the hospital's emergency department remains accessible, patients requiring specialized or advanced care are being transferred to other facilities.
Consequently, all scheduled elective surgeries, as well as outpatient laboratory and radiology appointments, have been canceled indefinitely. The hospital plans to contact affected patients to reschedule once normal operations resume. This is not the first time the hospital has faced significant technical difficulties; a similar event occurred in September 2015 following a faulty upgrade, and in the summer of 2024, a worldwide IT malfunction caused a six-hour system crash.
