Nantucket Cottage Hospital medical/surgical nurse Sarah Trottier, RN, has been selected as the first recipient of a Jane Bonvini Memorial Fund scholarship. Trottier is currently pursuing her BSN.

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. The fund was created by Jane’s family to support educational opportunities for island nurses.
