The Gift Of Giving

Marie J. Goodrich wanted to celebrate Grace Cottage's 60th Anniversary by donating $60, but she couldn't give that amount all at once. So, each month since July, Marie has sent a check for $20.

Marie's devotion sums up what makes Grace Cottage special; last year, donations such as Marie's totaled almost $600,000 given in appreciation or support of patient care at Grace Cottage.

Currently a resident of Saxtons River, VT, Marie and her husband, Harvey (who died in 1989), were neighbors to many - at one time or another, they lived in Townshend, Wardsboro, Jamaica, and Athens Grafton, as they raised their five children.

"Grace Cottage Hospital has been there for my family since 1965," said Marie. "Two of my children were born there, and I've been in rehabilitation twice at Grace Cottage in the past four years. I was treated very well by everyone.

"In fact, if you can say that you enjoyed yourself at a hospital, I did!" she said, adding that, "Grace Cottage still offers personal patient care, second to none."
