CMC Update

Putting the Gospel into Action

As the weather turns cooler and winter approaches, many in our community begin to prepare our homes and families for the cold months ahead.

But for those without shelter, this change in season can be a matter of life and death. Catholic Medical Center (CMC), deeply rooted in its Catholic identity and a long history of service in Manchester, is stepping forward to ensure that our most fragile neighbors are not forgotten.

This past summer, when the city of Manchester announced its plan to expand shelter and winter warming space for elderly and medically fragile neighbors experiencing homelessness, CMC knew it was called to be part of the solution.

“Rooted in our Catholic identity and a long history of service in Manchester, our mission calls us to walk as Jesus did — caring for the sick, the poor and those in greatest need,” said John Skevington, CEO of CMC. “Supporting this initiative is about more than a shelter — it’s about protecting lives, preserving dignity and ensuring that all of our neighbors have the opportunity to be safe and well. The strength of a community is revealed in how we care for our most vulnerable.”

For more than 50 years, CMC has carried out Christ’s healing ministry by offering health, healing and hope to every person it serves.

That mission extends far beyond the walls of the hospital. In Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus reminds us: “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me” (Mt 25:40).

This reminder is especially powerful in the season of giving, when we are called to reflect on Christ’s example and extend mercy to those who need it most.

By supporting expanded shelter and warming space for elderly and medically fragile neighbors experiencing homelessness, CMC is living out the Gospel in action.

Together with partners across the city, CMC is committed to building a healthier, more compassionate Manchester.

In caring for those most in need during the coldest months, the hospital is not only fulfilling its mission but also witnessing to the enduring power of faith, hope and love.

Catholic Medical Center is committed to providing health, healing and hope through a comprehensive range of high-quality services, including cardiology, women’s health, orthopedics, NICU and cancer care. Its team of more than 400 providers and more than 3,000 employees uses advanced technologies and a mission-driven approach to serve over 180,000 patients annually.
