Grace Cottage emergency dept. expansion underway

Construction has started on a $650,000 expansion of the Grace Cottage Family Health & Hospital emergency area to enhance patient comfort and privacy and improve patient flow and security. 

“This is a very exciting and much-needed renovation, allowing us to efficiently see the increasing number of patients visiting our Emergency Department” says President and CEO Doug DiVello.

“The technology available in our Emergency Department, especially with our recent link to Dartmouth Health’s TeleEd and TeleNeurology service, is, quite frankly, astonishing for a rural hospital of our small size and the support that we’ve received from the community for this project has been overwhelming,” DiVello said.

Work on the historic facility at 185 Grafton Rd. will include building a 250-square-foot canopy and a 1,050-square-foot addition to the emergency area.
