Overview
Chances are a lot of people depend on you. That’s why it’s so important for you to be able to depend on us. Having excellent women’s health services right here at Nantucket Cottage Hospital makes it easier to take good care of yourself. You can make a doctor’s appointment without taking a day off from work. You can get a mammogram or a lab test and still meet the school bus.
We deliver approximately 150 babies every year right here at The Birthplace and our own Dr. Margaret Koehm have the skills and experience to manage high-risk pregnancies. However, if you need acute or specialized care, knowing that we can quickly get you in to see a physician or surgeon — either here or through our medical partnerships on the mainland — is reassuring in and of itself.
Here are just some of the women’s health services we offer:
- Women’s primary care
- Pre-natal care

- Chronic disease management (diabetes, high blood pressure)

We also understand that this is a small island. The quality of our care depends on your being able to share important details of your health and life with complete confidence that your information will stay confidential. At Nantucket Cottage Hospital, that goes without saying. Our clinicians and staff build strong relationships with the women in our community and trust is at the center of every single one.
