Hometown Hospital Opening Soon

Our brand new hospital will open soon. It’s spacious, handsome, filled with new technology and special Nantucket touches to make us feel at home.

State of the art technology

A room for x-rays? Or scans? My sister is a nurse, but medical
terminology boggles my mind.

I have no idea what’s behind this door. Maybe my son-in-law David knows.

These benches in a waiting area were made from the trees that grew on
the building site and had to be cut down for the building of the
hospital. Using what you have; keeping in touch with the island. A
wonderful island touch.
