PLYMOUTH—Pemi-Baker Community Health is excited to announce that Dr. Kristi Saun- ders, MD, has joined the team as their new Hospice Medical Director.
After working over twenty years in Family Medicine as a board-certified OB/GYN, Dr. Saunders was drawn to palli- ative care and hospice by the desire to be more involved with
her patients when facing serious illnesses and death. She became board certified in Hospice and Palliative Medicine in 2012 and since then has been educating her patients about living and em- bracing the normalcy of dying.
Working with other agen- cies in New Hampshire and recently receiving hospice help for her mother in California has highlighted common challenges that families face. “My past ex- periences of different cultures, needs, and desires made me re- alize how important it is to really have the time to listen, watch, and not treat everyone like med- icine normally does...like every-

Pemi-Baker Community Health’s mission and philosophy of supporting their patients and families with compassionate care closely follow Dr. Saunders’ be- liefs. “Our goal is to educate fam- ilies that hospice is really about living, not death. It should be about smiles, hugs, and bringing people closer to acceptance as we possibly can,” said Saunders.
“Dr. Saunders has been serv- ing our community as one of our
hospice physicians since January, and we are delighted that she will be taking over as Hospice Medi- cal Director upon Dr. Arsenault’s retirement. Her commitment to the highest standards of client care, blended with her knowl- edge and compassion, make her an ideal fit for Pemi-Baker Com- munity Health,” said Danielle Paquette-Horne, Senior Director of Home Health, Palliative Care & Hospice.
With over 50 years of ex- perience serving clients from 22 central and northern New Hampshire towns, Pemi-Baker Community Health is commit- ted to creating healthier commu-
