The Peterborough hospital said the problems began Monday and continue to disrupt phone service and other systems.
Monadnock Community Hospital said Wednesday night that the network failure affecting its operations has also spread to its primary care clinics in Antrim and Jaffrey. The Peterborough hospital said the problems began Monday and continue to disrupt phone service and other systems.
The 25-bed facility has already put off outpatient radiology and lab visits, postponed elective surgeries and redirected ambulances to other hospitals in the region while staff work through the outage. The hospital said those limits are expected to stay in place until the network is repaired.
Despite the technical problems, the emergency department is still open. Physician offices are continuing to see patients, and rehabilitation and physical therapy visits are moving ahead as planned, according to the hospital’s Wednesday night update.
The hospital said appointments that were canceled will be arranged again once the systems are back online. Phone lines remain active, though their capacity is limited.
Hospital representatives did not respond Wednesday to an email asking for more details about what caused the disruption or when full service might return.
