NHTI receives medical equipment donation for student learning

After updating their own equipment, Monadnock Community Hospital and Catholic Medical Center generously donated specialized ultrasound machines to NHTI-Concord’s Community College. These donations allow students entering medical imaging fields to gain vital hands-on experience with real medical equipment.

“Most hospitals do not donate equipment, because their old systems get traded in to add a discount to the purchase of new equipment,” said Michelle Wade, program coordinator for NHTI’s Diagnostic Medical Sonography program.

Students immediately began practicing on the equipment once it was loaded into NHTI’s sonography lab. Wade, who also serves as a professor, noted that the new machines quickly became student favorites due to their exceptional image quality.

“We are extremely fortunate that our local medical facilities understand the importance of training the next generation of sonographers,” said Wade.

NHTI has an outstanding 100% employment rate for graduates of its healthcare programs. Medical facilities across the state regularly compete to recruit the college’s graduates.

Over the years, NHTI has received similar equipment donations from Exeter Hospital, Cheshire Medical Center, Maine Medical Center, Concord Hospital-Laconia, and Baystate Imaging
