Ground-Breaking Partnership

Mary MorganThrough an exciting new collaboration, Grace Cottage Hospital and Brattleboro Memorial Hospital (BMH) are now sharing a key staff member. Mary Morgan, RN, is the Vice President of Quality & Patient Safety at BMH and at Grace Cottage Hospital.

"I am excited about being able to perform the same function at both hospitals," said Morgan, "and it's working well. Such collaboration is increasingly common between major institutions as a means to share resources and address the corporate bottom line. While the focus of the two hospitals is different, the need for quality care, patient safety, and regulatory compliance is very much the same. One of my favorite quotes is: 'In the race for quality there is no finish line', and I'm glad to bring this perspective to both hospital settings."

According to Grace Cottage CEO Mick Brant, "Quality of care and patient safety are of paramount importance at Grace Cottage." BMH CEO Barry Beeman says, "We are pleased to be collaborating with Grace Cottage on this shared position. Sharing of resources is consistent with good practice in this age of increasingly higher health care costs."

Morgan has been employed at BMH since 2005 and at Grace Cottage Hospital since October. She has a BSN in nursing and an advanced certificate in Health Care Management from Stony Brook University in Stony Brook, NY, and is completing her Masters in Health Care Management at New England College. She and her family reside in West Townshend.
