Nantucket Cottage Hospital is pleased to announce that Michael Lorber will chair the 2015 Boston Pops on Nantucket concert set for August 8^th at Jetties Beach.

Lorber has long ties to the island, and is a founding member of the Friends of Nantucket Cottage Hospital group.

“As a summer resident of the island, I am honored to serve as this year’s chair for the biggest and best event of the summer,” Lorber said.

As the event chair for the 19^th edition of the Boston Pops on Nantucket concert, Lorber will oversee this cherished island tradition with a dedicated group of hospital staff and volunteers, producer Jon Rosbrook and Aisling Glynn’s ACKtivities, as well as vendors and special guests.

The annual concert is the largest single fundraiser for Nantucket Cottage Hospital that brings thousands of people from all walks of life together at Jetties Beach for an unforgettable night of entertainment featuring the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra and conductor Keith Lockhart. All funds generated during the event stay right here on the island to sustain the hospital’s year-round commitment to the health and wellbeing of the island community. (more…)

Nantucket Cottage Hospital lost one of its champions earlier this year with the passing of William “Bill” Hays III.

Bill served on the NCH Board of Trustees for more than 20 years, was a founding member of the NCH Advisory Council and the Patient & Family Advisory Council. He was also as a strong advocate for the new hospital, serving as a neighborhood captain on the community outreach team until his death on February 25, 2015 at the age of 84.  (more…)

As global health care and the needs of all those who inhabit and enjoy Nantucket continue to evolve, the future of Nantucket Cottage Hospital and its role in providing access to the highest quality medical services is paramount. Nantucket Cottage Hospital and the Board of Trustees are pleased to introduce “The Friends of Nantucket Cottage Hospital” – the next generation of leaders and donors who respect the 100 year history of NCH and also bring new insights to help guide the hospital into the future.

The Friends of Nantucket Cottage Hospital has been established to foster the next wave of leaders who will collaborate to ensure that NCH is able to continue to deliver state-of-the-art medical services on Nantucket. The founding group of the Friends committee is compromised of 11 individuals who share a common passion for the future success of Nantucket Cottage Hospital. It consists of both on- and off-island residents who possess a wide range of professional and personal experiences. Their goal will be to effectively leverage the diverse skill sets and expansive networks of the team to create broad-based awareness and visibility to the hospital. Critical to this mission will be to encourage support of the new hospital building project.

“Nantucket is blessed with unmatched natural beauty, vibrant cultural resources, talented people and a rich history,” said Friends of Nantucket Cottage Hospital co-chair Tad Lee. “Nantucket should have a world-class medical facility that matches the qualities of this special place.”  (more…)
