Did you resolve to get involved and make a difference in 2017? Here’s your chance! The gift shop is looking for volunteers for morning, afternoon, evening and weekend shifts. Most of our volunteers serve one 4 hour shift per week. They receive a free meal in the cafeteria after their shift and enjoy a 20% discount in the gift shop everyday! Last year, gift shop profits that went back to the hospital exceeded $100,000 and we couldn't have done it without our volunteers! They make a real difference! Our volunteers are college students, retirees, homemakers, even people working full or part time jobs! Gift Shop volunteers assist customers, help with pricing, deliver flowers to patients and sometimes, just provide a smile and a sympathetic ear when it’s needed most. Does this sound like you or someone you know? Come join our team! ABSOLUTELY NO RETAIL EXPERIENCE NECESSARY!

Mission Statement

Description
100 Year History The origin of Catholic Medical Center is rooted in the devotion of religious community members wanting to provide healthcare to Manchester’s residents. The hospital’s story began in 1858 with the arrival of Mother Mary Gonzaga, one of the original Sisters of Mercy from Dublin, Ireland. Her dream was to establish a hospital sponsored by a religious community, and she accomplished her dream in 1892 with the opening of Sacred Heart Hospital, located in the center of New Hampshire’s Queen City of Manchester.
Sharing a similar dream was Monsignor Peter Hevey, pastor of St. Mary’s Parish, and the Sisters of Charity of St. Hyacinthe. They collaborated to open Notre Dame Hospital on the west side of Manchester in 1894. This location is the current site of Catholic Medical Center.
Through the years, both hospitals perpetuated the Catholic ethic by providing a place of comfort, care, and compassion, including a mission of caring for residents most in need. After decades of providing medical services separately, the two hospitals merged in 1974, forming Catholic Medical Center. With the dedication of a new building in 1978, the hospitals were able to combine resources and medical services, and strengthened the religious community’s ability to provide patient care in the spirit of Christ.
During the past three decades, Catholic Medical Center (or "CMC") has become one of New Hampshire’s largest medical centers, dramatically expanding its services with a continual focus on delivering the highest quality healthcare. CMC is home to the New England Heart Institute, the proud site of the State’s first open heart surgery in 1978 and a leader in advanced cardiovascular services. In 2002 the hospital was one of the first in New England to use a state-of-the-art robotic surgical system for minimally invasive procedures, and continues to lead the region in medically advanced techniques and technology that improve patient care.
Catholic Medical Center is grounded in a solid foundation and maintains the mission of its founders, providing health, healing and hope to all in the spirit of its Catholic traditions.We look forward to acquainting you.
