| Our History |
|
Salmon Falls Family Healthcare was founded in 1987, when Dr. Edwin Charle and Dr. Patrick Clary, who date their friendship back to their Family Practice Residencies in Brooklyn, New York, moved their families to New Hampshire and took over an existing practice. After 17 years, Dr. Clary left Salmon Falls Family Healthcare to dedicate himself full time to hospice care. Claire Menard, PNP, joined the group in 1992 after practicing locally in Dover, NH for 7 years. Marge Pelletier, APRN, began practice at Salmon Falls in 1997, Katrina Diederichs, FNP, CDE joined us in 2002 and Rick Renner, PA in 2006. In 2009 we welcomed Dr. Bert Cole to the family. Today, Salmon Falls Family Healthcare utilizes state-of-the-art electronic medical records, in-house billing, scheduling, physical therapy and our own CLIA-compliant lab facility providing shorter wait times, convenience, and consistency of care. Salmon Falls Family Healthcare is the oldest independent family practice in the area and employs over two dozen staff members. |

Knowing the signs and symptoms is critical to the having the most positive outcome after having a heart attack. Rapid medical attention, calling 911 as soon as symptoms occur, will greatly increase the chance of survival. Although many still think of heart disease as a man's disease, women account for 47% of related deaths. The CDC also notes that women are more likely to delay seeking emergency treatment because they tend to experience the less common symptoms. |
