Grace
Cottage Foundation
| Grace Cottage Foundation provides an opportunity for generous and
caring individuals to enable Vermont’s smallest hospital, Grace
Cottage, to provide medical care to the people living in, working
and visiting the hills and valleys of southern Vermont. Established
in 1994, Grace Cottage Foundation is responsible for fund raising
and fund management for the sole benefit of Grace Cottage Hospital
& the Otis Health Care Center. Prudent management, cost containment,
and private gifts have enabled Grace Cottage to survive while hundreds
of small rural hospitals nationwide have been forced to close due
to financial shortfalls. |
