The Community Foundation for Nantucket (CFN) and Nantucket Cottage Hospital (NCH) are proud to announce a new CFN Designated Fund which will directly support our island nurses.

The Jane Bonvini Memorial Fund was established in honor of Jane Elizabeth Bonvini who died in September 2014. Jane worked at Nantucket Cottage Hospital for 27 years as an RN, retiring in 2010 as the Vice President of Patient Care Services and Director of Nursing. This fund was created by Jane’s family to support educational opportunities for Island Nurses. (more…)

National Nurses Week runs from May 6 through May 12 

“As President and CEO of Nantucket Cottage Hospital and a former emergency department physician, I’ve personally witnessed the talents and compassion of the NCH nursing staff.

These men and women are the backbone of this hospital, and are here 24/7 to care for our patients. Whether it’s in the operating room, on the medical/surgical floor, in the delivery room, the Emergency Department, or in our physician offices, the NCH nurses consistently go above and beyond what is expected of them to improve the lives of our patients.
