MacMillin Wins 2005 "Excellence in Construction" Awards for Elliot Hospital and Cheshire Medical Center & Dartmouth Hitchcock Clinic
The "Excellence in Construction" Award recognizes the importance of the construction industry and its influence on our everyday life.
Renovation and expansion to the Newborn Intensive Care Unit, Maternity Ward, and Labor & Delivery Recovery Unit marked the beginning of Elliot Hospital’s goal of delivering unmatched medical services throughout its entire organization. Previously mothers facing difficult pregnancies used to have to travel to Boston for certain services that they can now receive at Elliot Hospital in Manchester, NH. MacMillin, led by Jerry Blais in the field, executed the project without losing a single day of NICU, Maternity, or LDR operations, despite the necessary proximity of treatment rooms and construction activity.
“Each year during National Nurses’ Week, Nursing Services at Elliot Health System recognizes selected colleagues and other special people for their support and collaboration in pursuit of our common goal of excellence in patient care and services. Nurses throughout the system are interdependent on countless others in a wide variety of roles, departments, and disciplines in order to provide care consistent with the model.
On behalf of Nursing Services, congratulations Jerry Blais [Superintendent at MacMillin] on your well-deserved nomination.”
—Deb Baker, Vice President/CNE
Patient Care Services
Elliot Hospital
Creation of the Link Building at Cheshire Medical Center and Dartmouth Hitchcock Clinic has strengthened the campuses' commitment to providing the best possible care for its patients through a unique partnership combining the facilities, programs, and expertise of the two institutions. The “Link” project has not only joined the hospital and clinic physically, it has helped the two organizations develop a single motivational spirit.
“All organizations involved in the planning, design, and construction of the project are to be highly commended for their accomplishments, but MacMillin was the true leader that made it happen.
I am personally impressed with the quality of workmanship, the tenacity, and teamwork. We are fortunate to be in this partnership as we continue into the 21st century of health care.”
