“Our current pharmacy department is about one-tenth the size required according to current state regulations. Crammed into an 8′ x 8′ pharmacy, my team and I struggle to efficiently manage the increased workload demands of our growing island population. I was born in this hospital in 1961. Today, more than ever, I believe we desperately need a new facility in order to carry out our mission and continue to provide quality care for generations to come.”
– Dave Small, RPh, Manager, NCH Pharmacy Services

“The Nantucket Cottage Hospital bustled in a different way when my grandmother and great-grandmother were nurses here. In the oncology department, we aim to maximize the cancer care and supportive treatments we provide, but we are limited by the size of the infusion room. We may have up to 200 visits a month. Privacy becomes limited. A new facility will improve our ability to care for our patients right here on Nantucket.”

“The Nantucket Cottage Hospital is the center of our universe for health care the moment we step on this island. We love this special island 30 miles out to sea, sharing its beauty and history with family and friends, but we must also share the obligation and responsibility to support our hospital together in a big and bold way. It’s time to invest in a new hospital that will be our legacy for generations to come. We can make this difference together!”

“The Nantucket Cottage Hospital has taken care of me, my family and many of my employees over the years. That hospital saved my mother’s life. But the mechanics of this aging building need to be updated to continue to provide us with the best quality care thirty miles out to sea. The hospital has come a long way in the thirty years I’ve been on Nantucket, and now it needs to take the next step.”
