“Most of us have had a member of our family or someone we know who was helped in a serious medical situation thanks to our Nantucket Cottage Hospital. I’ve said this before, but really try it: imagine Nantucket without our hospital. Whether it was $10, $20, $5,000 or $10,000, your involvement and donations make a big difference to Nantucket Cottage Hospital this year and will continue to do so in the future.”

“I have been a physician assistant in the Emergency Department for over a decade. In that time, I have seen a large increase in the number of patients and a change in the island’s diverse medical needs. Our present facility makes it extremely difficult to meet those needs. It is imperative that our hospital expands and modernizes so that we not only can serve our growing population more expediently, but we can also treat special medical needs on the island.”
