Elliot Health System

In 1976, Jim Hawes first walked through the doors of Elliot as a high school junior. Nearly 50 years later, the man affectionately known as the “mayor” of Elliot has become a familiar face, trusted colleague, and important part of our history. 💙

We loved celebrating our incredible community at this year's Survivor's Day Celebration at the Solinsky Cancer Center! 💜

Cancer survivors, patients, families, and loved ones came together for a morning of food, music, activities, and connection, all in celebration of strength, resilience, and hope. This special day is an opportunity for our community to connect with others who have shared similar experiences and reconnect with the clinical teams who have supported them throughout their journey.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and made the morning so special!

Last night was another fun night out at the ballpark for Elliot team members! ⚾ This time, the team headed to a Boston Red Sox game at Fenway Park to celebrate Healthcare Appreciation Night. As a fun team member perk, Elliot team members were entered into a raffle, with 100 winners chosen at random to attend the game with a guest of their choice.

Shown here are Dr. Greg Baxter, Dr. Maria Braley, DO, and Tami Chase MSN, RN, enjoying the game, along with a fun selfie of Jason Elliott, SPHR and Claudette Morrison, who attended her first-ever Red Sox game!

🎉 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗘𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀! Elliot Health System hosted the 50th Through the Years celebration on Monday, Sept. 14, at the DoubleTree by Hilton Downtown Manchester. This annual event honors Elliot team members who reached five-year milestone service anniversaries this past year, from five to an incredible 50 years.

More than 619 team members were recognized for their impact and contributions to Elliot Health System’s mission to inspire wellness, heal our patients, and serve with compassion. Dr. Greg Baxter kicked off the evening with remarks celebrating an impressive 7,630+ years of combined service among those honored.

Whether celebrating five years or 50, our team members are the reason Elliot Health System continues to thrive. Through every moment that matters and every healthcare journey, they make a measurable difference in the lives of our patients, their families, and our community. 💙

Elliot Health System’s Human Resources team recently donated 32 fully stocked backpacks to McDonough Elementary School in Manchester, along with much-needed classroom supplies for teachers.

Now in its fourth consecutive year since being relaunched, the Pack-a-Pack fundraiser continues to grow and make an impact, helping local students start the school year prepared and ready to learn.

We’re proud of our team members for continuing to give back to the community we’re so fortunate to serve! 📚✏️

We are excited to share that in August, two members of our Cardiac Team were nominated for Team Member of the Month! ⭐ Congratulations to 𝗜𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗿 𝗚𝗼𝗻𝘇𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘇-𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗻, Patient Service Representative, Cardiovascular Testing, and 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲, Supervisor, Non-Invasive Cardiac Testing.

Isamar and Steve recently went above and beyond to assist an elderly couple on an especially challenging day. After arriving at the wrong location for an echocardiogram, the patient and his wife were upset, confused, and an hour late for their appointment.

Steve graciously accommodated the patient’s appointment and, with Isamar’s help, assisted the couple in locating their vehicle afterward. When their vehicle ran out of gas while leaving the parking lot, Steve and Isamar coordinated with our Security and Facilities teams to obtain fuel and help them get back on the road.

Later, Isamar called to check in and sadly learned that the couple’s daughter had passed away. She offered her condolences and sent a sympathy card, demonstrating empathy and kindness that extended well beyond her job responsibilities.

Thank you, Isamar and Steve, for going above and beyond to care for our patients and reminding us what compassionate care is all about! 💙
