Kevin Meyer Joins
Hospital Board
Welcome,
Kevin Meyer, to the Grace Cottage Hospital Board of Trustees! Meyer
is the president of Mary Meyer Corporation, a three- generation
family business that makes and markets a wide variety of stuffed
toys. The business was founded by his grandmother, Mary Meyer, in
1933, and has been based in Townshend since the early 1940's.
Meyer was born at Grace Cottage Hospital; after
graduating from Leland & Gray High School, he received
his business degree in 1982 from Babson College in
Wellesley, MA. He became president of Mary Meyer
Corporation in 1986.
A resident of Brattleboro, he and his wife, Heidi, have six
children, ranging in age from 7 to 20. He has been on the
Board of Brattleboro Development Credit Corporation
since 1995, and has also served on the boards of Little
Valley Nursery School and Leland & Gray Union High
School.
"My extended family has a long tradition with Grace
Cottage Hospital," said Meyer, "and I'm very pleased
to be able to serve on the board. This hospital provides
such wonderful patient care to the people of the West
River Valley and beyond. My siblings and I were all born
at Grace Cottage, my grandmother died there, my father
served on the board, and countless family members have
been treated at Grace Cottage."
