“My family and I want to thank the entire staff of Grace Cottage Hospital for all the caring help provided my mother during her stay at Grace Cottage Hospital.

“I feel it’s a privilege to live in Grafton, Vermont, with its collection of friends and neighbors and to have the services of Grace Cottage for the kind of medical treatment suitable to my needs. In comparison, I actually feel sorry for my friends in Boston who have to make do solely with [city hospitals]. I realize how privileged I am to be getting the very good attention and service provided by the good and generous people of Windham County.” Written by Don Kissel while a patient at Grace Cottage Hospital in July, 2006. Don died at his home in Grafton in January, 2007.

“Thank you so much for the wonderful care you gave my dear friend, John Noor. The compassion shown to John and all of us by Dr. Shafer and the staff was very comforting at a time that was so difficult. I am so thankful for your great hospice -- I knew that John had the best care. During the two weeks that John was there, I felt like everybody became my friends and family, they were so close, and it wasn’t just the nurses - even the ladies who worked in housekeeping and in the kitchen were always there with a hug when I needed one.” Doris Hastings Night with a Native B&B Chester, VT
