1 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

2 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.

aising three young children and running a family farm on the island means Sam and Rachael Slosek have become well Racquainted 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.”

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

chance visit to Nantucket nearly 50 years ago first brought the ABeach 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 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 SPOTLIGHTS DONOR 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.

Swim Across America is a national non-profit organization dedicated to raising funds for cancer research, prevention and treatment through swimming- related events.

THRIFT SHOP VOLUNTEERS

here is one donor that has generously contributed to Nantucket Cottage THospital 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.

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). VOLUNTEERISM

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.
