Nantucket Cottage Hospital perioperative staff nurse Sarah Trottier, RN, has been selected to receive the 2016 Jane Bonvini Memorial Fund scholarship. Trottier is currently pursuing her BSN from Chamberlain College of Nursing.

The Jane Bonvini Memorial Fund was established last year 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.
