  • When a check-up with her primary care physician, Maury McGough, M.D., revealed a frightening diagnosis of acute promyelocytic leukemia last summer, Cookie Melanson began receiving treatment at several hospitals within Partners HealthCare. This could have challenged the continuity and safety of her care, if not for a new form of electronic medical record EMR that followed her every step of the way. A Peabody-area realtor whose charity golf tournaments have raised more than $55,000 for NSMC’s Cancer Center programs since 2001, Melanson needed a specific type of chemotherapy for this rare cancer, as well as specialized cardiac care due to a heart attack she suffered in 2000. Unique expertise in this combination of care was readily available at Brigham and Women’s Hospital BWH, and Melanson’s trips into the city began. Melanson recuperated at Shaughnessy-Kaplan Rehabilitation Hospital and her cancer care was put on hold.
