Testimonials

An admirer writes:

"My favorite hospital is the 19-bed Grace Cottage...Thanks to a very generous and supportive community, which includes devoted patients, committed volunteers, an amazingly talented, compassionate and hardworking staff, and wonderful benefactors, Vermont's smallest hospital [is celebrating] six decades of saving lives, caring for the sick, helping those who are dying, and encouraging those who are well to stay that way. It's the Vermont way of living, staying well, and dying. America could learn a lot from Vermont."

A grateful patient writes:

Many, many thanks for the excellent care given to our mother during her last days at Grace Cottage. She didn't want to be anywhere else, and we all knew why. It was like being at home. Everyone was caring, thoughtful, and treated her with the utmost respect.

A personal thank you:

"While on vacation in Vermont in late August, I quite unexpectedly had occasion to avail myself of your emergency room ... I would like to extend a personal thank you to the highly competent emergency staff, as they brought expertise, control and kindness to a rather frightening situation ... Without exception, everyone involved managed the situation with the highest level of professionalism. I'd also like to thank those behind the scenes who support the hospital operationally and administratively, thereby allowing the doctors to do what they do best."
