THIS IS MY HOSPITAL

“Since moving to Nantucket in 1997, the Cottage Hospital has played an important role in my life. My four children were born there, and now I work there as an interpreter. We have so many more people living on Nantucket than when I first moved to the island, and I believe we need a modern, more efficient hospital to care for everyone.”

“As a high school principal, I encounter 450 reasons everyday why we need a new hospital on Nantucket. The safety and wellbeing of our children speaks for itself. Whether it’s treating an injury on the field or an accident in the lab, we need to have access to quality care.”

– John Buckey, Nantucket High School

“The Nantucket Cottage Hospital has been here for me and my family through joys and sorrows, with dignity, professionalism and loving care. We need to continue providing this valuable service to future generations of visitors and residents here on the island. Nantucket deserves to have a new hospital, for life, death and everything in between.”

– Harvey Young, Young’s Bicycle Shop

“I believe that we are nothing without our health, so having access to the best possible care must be the top priority of our community. We need a hospital that fully supports all of our needs, a facility that will grow with technology and innovation. I have planted my roots on Nantucket. I want a new hospital for my future and for the future of islanders to come.”

– Amy Pallenberg, local business owner

“For anybody who doesn’t think that we need a new hospital, all they need to do is take a tour. Our population has grown and our present hospital can no longer accommodate the services we need as a community. A better-equipped facility can decrease the need for medical trips off island and keep quality care here on Nantucket.”

– Rocky Fox, The Chicken Box
