Grace Cottage Hospital

Thanks to a grant from the Fannie Holt Ames and Edna Louise Holt Fund, Grace Cottage has received a new bus, which replaces the 1989 10-passenger van. The bus, which seats 16 ambulatory passengers and has space for four wheelchairs, was received with great enthusiasm by passengers when it went out on its first run in mid-September. Bette Parsons, who tested for a special license to drive the large bus, is full of praise for the vehicle. "We'll be able to take twice as many people on our trips to Brattleboro and Springfield," she said. To find out how to ride this bus, call Elaine at (802) 365-7140 x 118.
