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

THE SLOSEK FAMILY – FROM FARM TO TABLE TO HOSPITAL
R
aising 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.”

DONOR SPOTLIGHTS
“Every person who
visits the hospital or
donates is helping
other people who are
sick or hurt and need
the hospital.”
-Ben Brasher
BEN BRASHER – WISE BEYOND HIS YEARS
A
mid 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.

THE BEACH-STANTON FAMILY FUND
A LEGACY OF GIVING THAT SPANS GENERATIONS
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
“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 longestserving 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’.”
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 midOctober, 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 swimmingrelated 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).
HOSPITAL VOLUTEERS
S
ome 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.
Mona Ray
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.
VOLUNTEERISM
“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.”

THRIFT SHOP VOLUNTEERS
T
here 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.
Joan Holdgate, Brigid O’Riordan & Judy Lochtefeld
“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.
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.

VOLUNTEERISM
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 1911 SOCIETY
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.
Courtney O’Neill
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.”
1911 SOCIETY
