MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

This is our hospital. These words embody the spirit of Nantucket Cottage Hospital’s

talented staff as well as the community that has consistently demonstrated its

support for the critical role NCH plays in island life. As we strive to sustain quality

patient care and deliver services 30 miles at sea, the generosity of this community

continues to be our lifeline.

Over the past three years we’ve righted our ship, focusing on the patient experience,

setting the foundation for fiscal sustainability, and creating a roadmap to guide our

future. The time to replace our aging 1957 facility has come, and a capital campaign

to build a new home for Nantucket Cottage Hospital is now underway. Ensuring

that this undertaking is successful will require not only the hard work and dedication of the NCH team and our affiliates

Massachusetts General Hospital and Partners HealthCare, but the backing of the entire island community as well. After

all, this is our hospital.

And even as we embark on this journey to build the new NCH together, we must also be mindful of our existing mission

and commitment to patients by continuing to nurture The NCH Fund, which sustains general hospital operations, so we

can remain Nantucket’s wellness leader and safety net.

This report is filled with the names of people who recognize that life as we know it on Nantucket wouldn’t be the same

without a hospital that meets the needs of a thriving year-round community. It’s one of the ways we acknowledge the

hundreds of men, women and children who generously share with us their talents and treasures as volunteers, donors

and staff.

People like you allow Nantucket Cottage Hospital to navigate the uncertainties of a changing health care environment

while remaining constant in our mission to serve the island community. On behalf of the NCH family, thank you.

Sincerely,

Margot Hartmann, MD, PhD

President and CEO

ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF 2013

NEW CLINICS To meet the growing need for specialists and specialized care for our patients, we developed new services in oncology

and endocrinology. Partnering with the MGH Cancer Center, we created new on-island oncology services so our cancer patients can

receive expanded world-class care right here on Nantucket. We also expanded our services in maternal fetal medicine, neurology,

orthopedic and laparoscopic surgery, pediatrics, podiatry, pulmonary medicine, rheumatology, and emergency medicine. The hospital

is working to increase urgent care capacity through a walk-in clinic by the summer of 2014.

NEW PRIMARY CARE CLINICIANS We continued our investment in primary care. Excellent, accessible primary care doctors and

clinicians are the foundation to the hospital’s success and the community’s wellness, so we continued our efforts to recruit additional

full-time staff. Opening a practice in 2013 was Dr. Jock Lawrason, an internist specializing in pulmonary, critical care and internal

medicine who also serves as Chief Medical Officer and hospitalist physician at NCH. Carrie Fisher, a full-time nurse practitioner, and

Eileen Carlsen, a seasonal, bilingual nurse practitioner, also joined our team in 2013. These skilled clinicians are critical to the delivery

of primary care services at NCH. We are also pleased to announce that Dr. Heidi Larson, a primary care physician from Portland,

ME, will be joining the NCH team in June 2014 to open a new island-based practice within the Massachusetts General Physicians

Organization (MGPO).

FINANCIAL HEALTH We continued to balance fiscal prudence with the need to grow on-island services. Consistent with trends

throughout health care, outpatient services, such as laboratory, imaging and physical therapy, have become a new reimbursement

engine for NCH. Our inpatient “Swing Bed” rehab program continued its ongoing success in mutually befitting both patients and

NCH as a whole.

PATIENT SATISFACTION Nantucket Cottage Hospital was recognized for excellence in patient satisfaction by the National

Organization of State Offices of Rural Health (NOSORH). NCH was among three Massachusetts rural hospitals ranked in the top

quartile for the criteria “willingness to recommend” and “overall quality.” The hospital also scored above the national and state

averages on key patient satisfaction criteria in the annual federal survey released in 2013.

PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE We reviewed planning recommendations for a new hospital building with external experts to confirm

that our original conclusions are still valid. Additionally, the assumptions remained accurate when clinic and hospital data from 2013

were added to the model. We are fine-tuning our original design in light of the possibility of a new site for the hospital.

SUSTAINING GREAT CARE The blizzard of February 2013 tested our ability to provide complex care in a nearly full hospital while

transportation to and from the island was shut down for 48 hours. Two emergency C-sections and a variety of care continued

seamlessly during the Commonwealth’s state-of-emergency. Despite our current building being expensive to maintain and not ideal

by today’s medical standards, our physicians and staff delivered extraordinary care nonetheless.

These successes are only possible because of the generous support and commitment of people like you. We are truly grateful for your

support and welcome your thoughts and suggestions at any time.

“The hospital is a foundation of the community, it’s a pillar, and something that we use often.”-Sam Slosek

10

Raising three young children and running a family farm on the island means Sam and Rachael Slosek have become well

acquainted with Nantucket Cottage Hospital.

From broken bones to a ruptured appendix or a simple stomach flu, the Sloseks have been frequent users of the hospital

over the years, and in turn have made it a priority to give back.

“The hospital is a foundation of the community, it’s a pillar, and something that we use often,” said Sam Slosek. “We

want the hospital to be doing well, we want to have physicians available when we need them, we want to have prompt

emergency care, and we want our kids to have pediatric care.”

For Sam and Rachael, that means more than just making a financial donation to The NCH Fund. The Sloseks have also

donated fresh produce to the hospital from Moors End Farm, the 25-acre farm at 40 Polpis Road founded in the mid-1970s

by Sam’s parents. The NCH food services department welcomes these annual infusions of locally-grown produce into the

hospital’s daily menu for staff and patients.

“It was a no-brainer,” Sam said of donating Moors End Farm produce to the hospital. “We send whatever we have a surplus

of or any specialty produce the hospital is looking for. If we can give them some fresh vegetables, it’s great and it’s good for

people.”

The Sloseks’ three children, Sophia, 7, Ben, 5, and Eli, 1, were all born at Nantucket Cottage Hospital, and have since

returned for treatment for a range of typical childhood ailments.

“I’d like to think we’re not an accident-prone family but we sort of are,” Rachael Slosek said with a laugh. “So we’re big

users of the hospital, even though we try not to be. We’ve had a great experience with all three kids.”

The family has also experienced medical treatment at facilities on the mainland, and came to realize that the experience is

simply different at Nantucket Cottage Hospital, from the small campus setting to the physicians and clinicians who are also

members of the island community.

“It’s friendlier and much more personal, and when it comes to care, that’s huge,” Rachael said. “You feel like you have to

have confidence in this place because we live in the middle of nowhere, so it’s not as if you have options. So wouldn’t it be

good to go to a place that you like, where you want to be, and where you feel comfortable? More and more, I’ve felt that

way over the years. So that’s part of the reason we chose to donate. They’ve been incredibly helpful to us.”

With the hospital embarking on the capital campaign to construct a new building, Sam Slosek sees his family’s relationship

with NCH only deepening as his children grow and the plans for the new hospital campus come together.

“The start of the new hospital campaign was one of the reasons we donated, and I think going forward we’ll continue to

donate towards that as it gets more traction,” Slosek said. “We feel like the hospital is one of those services that if you can

afford to give back to it, you really should because it’s important to everyone.”

The hundreds of names listed in this report

are a testament to the vital role Nantucket

Cottage Hospital plays in island life. As

President of the NCH Foundation, it’s

heartening to see the community recognize

that the hospital’s success depends upon

the continued support of all those who call

Nantucket home. As I look through these

pages and see the names of friends and

neighbors who have so generously contributed

to the hospital over the past year, I can only

express my deepest gratitude and sense of

optimism for the future of this critical island

institution. Thank you.

“Every person who visits the hospital or donates is helping other people who are sick or hurt and need the hospital.”-Ben Brasher

Amid the hustle and bustle of The Boston Pops on Nantucket concert last year, you might have missed a slightly smaller

fundraiser of sorts, also for Nantucket Cottage Hospital, at the entrance to Jetties Beach.

There was young Benjamin Brasher, an 11-year-old boy with a heart of gold, who had set up a lemonade stand to provide

refreshments for those waiting in line for the concert and to donate the proceeds to the hospital.

For Ben, a fifth-grader at Kennedy Middle School in Natick, Mass., the lemonade stand was just his latest act of generosity

to benefit Nantucket Cottage Hospital. In years past, Ben had also donated his Hanukkah money to the hospital, displaying

character and selflessness well beyond his years.

Ben, who has spent his summers on Nantucket with his family every year of his

life, decided at an early age that the hospital was important to him, and that

he wanted to help the island’s only medical facility.

“I’ve had to go to the hospital a few times and it made me realize what

donating to the hospital can do, and if people didn’t donate, it would be a lot

harder,” he said. “When I was young, in kindergarten, I went to the Boston

Pops for the first time and my parents told me where the money went, to the

hospital. So a year later I did my first lemonade stand and I decided to donate

to the hospital.”

Back in Natick, Ben plays soccer and basketball, and also sings in the school

chorus.

While he’s on Nantucket during the summer, Ben’s days are filled with biking

trips, beach activities at Cisco, and the occasional visit to Long Pond to see the

turtles. He regularly joins the Brant Point Runners for a 5K, and also competes

in the Firecracker 5K on the Fourth of July. You might also find him at the Juice

Bar eating a cone of Green Monster ice cream, or maybe cookie dough ice

cream, depending on his mood.

Ben’s family has been coming to Nantucket since the early 1950s, and Ben’s parents, Bradley and Judy, were married on the

island. “Going back to Nantucket always gets me excited,” he said. “Just being there is really fun. It’s a family tradition.”

And we thank Ben for establishing his own tradition of giving back to Nantucket Cottage Hospital. “Every person who visits

the hospital or donates is helping other people who are sick or hurt and need the hospital,” Ben said.

A chance visit to Nantucket nearly 50 years ago first brought the

Beach family to the island, and would lay the foundation for what

would become one of Nantucket Cottage Hospital’s most meaningful

and lasting relationships.

It was the mid-1960s when Debby Beach travelled to the island on a

whim, and like so many others, she became entranced. She told her

parents, Norman and Irene, about the little island community she had

discovered, and they too became intrigued and decided to make the trip.

After their flight was diverted to Hyannis due to fog, the couple took

an evening ferry and stayed at The Summer House in ‘Sconset. For Irene

Beach, who would become known to many islanders simply as “Rene,”

the ocean view was beautiful, but not the charming, cobblestoned village

she had been promised. She and Norman then took a taxi into town “and

the rest is history,” recalled her son-in-law, Dr. Robert Stanton.

“They walked down Old North Wharf and she fell in love with the place,”

he said. “She pretty much never left the island. She decided that’s where

they wanted to live.”

Rene and Norman, an executive with Kodak in Rochester, NY, purchased a lot on India Street and built a home that just

happened to be located across the street from the Nantucket Cottage Hospital Thrift Shop. It wasn’t long before Rene

knocked on the Hospital Thrift Shop’s door, wondering what she could do to help.

Over the years and decades that followed, Norman, Rene and their family committed themselves to helping the Hospital

Thrift Shop and the hospital itself with an uncommon level of dedication and vigor.

Today, even after their passing, the Beach-Stanton Family Fund carries on their legacy of generosity to Nantucket Cottage

Hospital.

Dr. Robert Stanton, now an orthopedic surgeon in Connecticut, oversees

the Beach-Stanton Family Fund and fondly recalled the family’s long

history with the Hospital Thrift Shop, Nantucket Cottage Hospital and

the island.

Shortly after they completed their home on India Street, Norman

became the Hospital Thrift Shop’s bookkeeper, while Rene volunteered

inside the store, doing everything from stocking shelves to ironing

clothes, or ensuring that there was adequate parking for volunteers like

her.

22

THE BEACH-STANTON FAMILY FUNDA LEGACY OF GIVING THAT SPANS GENERATIONS

“I just love that old building, making it pretty!” Rene told Yesterday’s

Island in 2007.

The couple also donated countless items to the Hospital Thrift Shop

over the years which ultimately generated additional funds for the

hospital. Rene would become the Hospital Thrift Shop’s longest-

serving volunteer, yet repeatedly turned down requests to serve as

its president, preferring to work behind the scenes for the benefit

of the hospital. In addition to her work at the Hospital Thrift

Shop, she also volunteered at hospital events like the annual

NCH Health Fair.

“She would always be there to open the door (of the Thrift

Shop) year-round, letting people bring things in,” Dr. Stanton said.

“She was always doing something to help the hospital.”

In addition to his role at the Hospital Thrift Shop, Norman served on the hospital’s Board of Trustees for many years, and

later stayed active in its affairs as a Trustee emeritus. Norman was a constant advocate for the hospital, even insisting that a

required surgery be done on the island rather than in Boston.

“He was devoted to that hospital,” Dr. Stanton recalled. “He said ‘I’m a Trustee, I’m having my surgery here’.”

The countless volunteer hours contributed by Norman and Rene were in addition to the thousands of dollars they donated

to the hospital over the years.

For Dr. Stanton and his late wife Debby, an artist who passed away in 2013, the connection to Nantucket goes well beyond

visits to Norman and Rene’s home on India Street. In the mid-1970s, while he was a resident physician at Yale-New Haven

Hospital, Dr. Stanton would spend his summers as a visiting physician at NCH.

“It was a lot of fun,” he said of his time at NCH, although back in those days, he admitted, it was pretty quiet at the

hospital, even in the summer months. “The nursing staff was wonderful.”

Debby volunteered at the Hospital Thrift Shop when she was on-island, and helped her mother maintain “her room” – the

one immediately to the left when you walked in. During a Festival of Trees event at the Nantucket Historical Association,

Debby and Rene once decorated a Christmas tree with Hospital Thrift Shop bags, one for each year since it opened in 1929,

with the annual gift amount given to NCH written on the side.

Dr. Stanton’s own son Jim visited Nantucket when he was just weeks old, and took his first steps inside one of the hospital’s

employee houses. Now 38, Jim returns to Nantucket each year with his own children.

From one generation to the next, the Beach-Stanton Family continues to honor the tradition of giving back to the hospital

that Norman and Rene so generously established.

The Nantucket Cottage Hospital Thrift Shop has been a pillar of support for the hospital since 1929. Operating as a separate non-profit organization, the Hospital Thrift Shop sells merchandise donated by the island community – anything from books to furniture to artwork – from late May through mid-October, and donates the proceeds to Nantucket Cottage Hospital. Over its 84-year history, the Hospital Thrift Shop has contributed more than $3.48 million to NCH.

Swim Across America is a national non-profit organization dedicated to raising funds for cancer research, prevention and treatment through swimming-related events. In 2013, Swim Across America came to Nantucket for an open water swim at Jetties Beach that generated $180,000 to benefit cancer care services at Nantucket Cottage Hospital, as well as Palliative and Supportive Care of Nantucket (PASCON).

Some of the largest and most important donations to Nantucket Cottage

Hospital are not measured in dollars and cents, but rather minutes, hours

and smiles.

The largest group of hospital volunteers, known as the Blue Coats, is an integral

part of the NCH team that welcomes and assists patients at registration and in

the Emergency Department. In some ways, these men and women are the face

of the hospital and, along with the front desk staff, are the first point of contact

for people arriving at the NCH campus.

If the Blue Coats were a sports team, Mona Ray would be one of its captains.

Ray, an 81-year-old former nurse, is the woman who schedules the shifts of

many of the hospital’s volunteers. In the summer months, when the number

of Blue Coats swells, Ray and several others are responsible for managing the

schedule of a group of 25 to 40 people in the registration area, the Emergency

Department, as well as the surgical recovery area.

“I say to the volunteers when they arrive at the hospital that they are the first person the patient or visitor sees when

they enter the hospital, whether it be the registration area or the Emergency Department, and they should be smiling, be

courteous and they should be welcoming,” Ray said. “We accept whatever time the volunteers can give us.”

Ray has owned a home on Nantucket since 1984, and moved to the island year-round with her husband Web in 2002.

With her background in nursing, Ray decided to volunteer first with Hospice Care of Nantucket Foundation (now known as

Palliative And Supportive Care Of Nantucket) and then at the hospital. She was a Blue Coat herself for several years before

assuming her current role. She also served as a member of the hospital’s beautification committee, and regularly volunteers

in the hospital recovery area.

“Helping others is a rewarding experience,” Ray said. “And the ever-changing field of medicine is fascinating.”

After growing up in Ipswich, Mass., Ray went through Massachusetts General Hospital’s nursing school, where she lived

at the hospital for three years of training before graduating in 1955. After having four children, she went back into nursing

at the Park City Hospital in Bridgeport, Conn., where she worked in the Emergency Department, the ICU and the recovery

wing.

Upon her retirement to the island, Ray’s medical background and philanthropic spirit led her to Nantucket Cottage Hospital,

where she and the Blue Coats help to create a warm and welcoming environment for patients and the community at large.

“You don’t necessarily have to have any talent or a background in this, but you have to be willing to reach out to people,”

she said. “We are fortunate to have dedicated, energetic volunteers who are always willing to go the extra mile.”

There is one donor that has generously contributed to Nantucket Cottage

Hospital every year since 1929. Over the past eight decades, this donor has

given more than $3.48 million to the island’s community hospital. Who is this

philanthropic force?

Just look for the huge line of people snaking down India Street every May and you

will find the answer.

For 84 years, the Hospital Thrift Shop has been a pillar of support that has enabled

Nantucket Cottage Hospital to navigate the ever-changing landscape of modern

health care and the challenges of providing quality medical care 30 miles out to

sea. This consistent, extraordinary track record of giving is the result of a dedicated

group of more than 100 volunteers, a small staff, and a 10-member Board of

Directors.

“We are passionate about the shop,” said Catherine S. Ward, the President of the Hospital Thrift Shop’s Board of Directors.

“During the summer it takes on a life of its own, and we love every minute of it.” The Hospital Thrift Shop sells merchandise

donated by the island community – anything from books to furniture to artwork – from late May through mid-October, and

operates as a separate non-profit organization.

In 2013, the Hospital Thrift Shop contributed a record-breaking $200,000 to the hospital. The gift has been designated for

three specific purposes: $164,000 toward the new home of the hospital’s Sports Medicine and Physical Therapy Associates

at Freedom Square; $24,000 to the NCH Social Services Department; and $12,000 for the Marla Lamb Fund, which

offsets the cost of transportation for island cancer patients and is administered by NCH’s Palliative and Supportive Care of

Nantucket (PASCON).

The record-breaking donation was facilitated by the 107 volunteers who generously donated their time and efforts to the

Hospital Thrift Shop last summer. The group included volunteers from 10 different states, Washington, D.C. and Canada.

Their efforts made the Hospital Thrift Shop a destination for a wide array of island residents, visitors and others, all looking

for a deal.

“We had some business people who came to us to help them ‘dress for success,’ we had a major clothing line come to the

shop last year to get props for an ad campaign they were shooting on-island, and we had a lot of seasonal college kids who

came in looking for the black pants and white shirt needed for their summer job, as well as the things they needed in their

living quarters for the season,” Ward said. “We get great clothes and it is wonderful to see people of all walks of life come

to the shop to buy and donate. They find a real bargain.”

The Hospital Thrift Shop was founded in 1929 when a group of dedicated volunteers came together to provide affordable

clothes and household goods to the island community. Its first gift to the hospital that year was $603. It was merely the

opening act of a generous tradition of giving that continues to this day.

TYTHE 1911 SOCIETY

34

In 1911, a group of far-thinking Nantucket residents began shaping the island’s

medical future. Recognizing the precarious position of being 30 miles at sea,

they founded Nantucket Cottage Hospital, sharing a visionary outlook.

“If we value our own lives and we would take no hazard with them, we shall be

content no longer to see Nantucket without a hospital,” said John S. Gourard,

MD, one of the founders of Nantucket Cottage Hospital.

More than 100 years later, people who love Nantucket continue to give their

time, talent and gifts to ensure the vitality of the island’s hospital.

As a lasting legacy to their appreciation of the medical expertise and

compassionate care available to them on the island, donors are choosing to

make a bequest to their beloved Nantucket Cottage Hospital. In recognition of

their gracious and visionary support, the hospital has created a distinguished

donor group — The 1911 Society.

“People who hold the hospital in such high esteem as to remember us with a bequest are among the most inspiring friends

we could ever know. The 1911 Society is our way of honoring their remarkable foresight and kindness in a special way,”

said Courtney O’Neill, the associate director of the Nantucket Cottage Hospital Foundation. “They are helping to secure the

future of our hospital.”

RECOGNIZING SOCIETY MEMBERS

In tribute to their generosity, members of the newly-formalized 1911 Society enjoy the following benefits:

• Invitation to the annual 1911 Society fall social event, held every September. The inaugural event is scheduled for

September 2014 at the Nantucket Yacht Club.

• Pendant or lapel pin, presented exclusively to 1911 Society members

• Recognition in the NCH annual Report to Our Donors

• Name engraved on The 1911 Society legacy tree, displayed in the hospital

JOINING THE 1911 SOCIETY

To become a member, please let the hospital know that a provision has been made for Nantucket Cottage Hospital in a will,
