Brattleboro Reformer
After earning a top ranking for LGBTQ+ health care service last year, Grace Cottage Family Health and Hospital's Health Equity Team is continuing to seek progress.
"It's woven into our DNA in Grace Cottage to provide passionate care, and we do that," said Andrea Seaton, senior director of development, marketing and community relations at Grace Cottage, pointing to high patient satisfaction scores. "It's been really a pleasure and a privilege to work with the Equity Team because we're doing such good work in making sure that employees receive the necessary training that they need and that we keep this effort going forward."
Dr. George Terwilliger, chief medical officer at Grace Cottage, said support for the effort from staff has been overwhelming. His hope is to receive an even better ranking from the Human Rights Campaign Foundation this year after recently submitting a new survey.
