In 2022, Jared Guilmett joined the
Regional Council, a standing committee 
of the Concord Hospital Trust Board of 
Trustees charged with planning local 
events, raising funds, guaranteeing that 
gifts are used as donors envisioned, and 
creating awareness of Trust goals in the 
Lakes and Three Rivers Regions. 
The assignment gave the Laconia 
native and 2011 Laconia High School 
graduate an opportunity to help his 
hometown prosper in the health care 
realm through its new partnership with 
Concord Hospital, while allowing him to 
connect the dots between health care 
and philanthropy. 
	
“It’s so uplifting to know we have 
people in the profession who care so 
deeply,” he said at the time, “and that 
the Trust is looking after that.”
Guilmett describes his time on the 
Regional Council as a “tremendous 
experience,” one that allowed him 
to work alongside colleagues to be 
“strong stewards for the community in 
relation to the Concord Hospital Trust 
and the whole system.” His involvement 
expanded when he joined the Trust’s 
Stewardship Committee, which oversees 
funding for facility and program 
upgrades throughout the hospital 
system. Three years later, Guilmett, an 
architect at Misiaszek Turpin, has further 
increased his commitment to his town 
and the hospital as a member of the 
Trust Board. 
While joining the board was a natural 
progression of his dedication, a key 
motivation for Guilmett’s expanded 
involvement is ensuring representation 
for the Laconia and Franklin regions 
on the Trust Board. He emphasizes 
the importance of the hospital’s 
vision to operate as “one system, not 
as individual locations,” noting that 
“together we can be stronger, offer 
incredible services, and have incredible 
physicians and staff across the board.” 
He’s eager to support the community 
he lives in through this deeper level 
of involvement.
Guilmett points to tangible 
improvements he’s already witnessed, 
pointing to the dental clinic in 
Laconia receiving new chairs and 
physical enhancements to better 
serve the community and funding 
that helps patients with medical 
bills, prescriptions, and clothing after 
hospital stays.
“It’s not always an immediate tangible 
thing,” he says, “but knowing we’re 
able to provide these funds and help 
members in the community makes a 
huge impact.”
Beyond his work with Concord Hospital 
Health System (CHHS), Guilmett serves 
his community in other capacities. 
He’s a director on the board of the 
Greater Lakes Region Charitable 
Fund for Children (also known as the 
Children’s Auction), an organization 
he’s supported for most of his life. He 
encourages others to find causes about 
which they’re passionate and engage 
with organizations like CHHS that 
demonstrate “a strong commitment to 
the regions and the people they serve.”
“To be able to support a healthcare 
system that has such a vast reach,” he 
says, “is both inspiring and humbling.”
