(April 3, 2018) Derek Andelloux, MD, has joined the Nantucket Cottage Hospital medical staff as a full-time, year-round primary care physician. Dr. Andelloux’s new family practice will open this month in the hospital’s Anderson Building at 57 Prospect Street where he will welcome new patients of all ages before moving into the new hospital when it is completed later this year.

“I really believe in general practice care, womb-to-tomb family medicine,” Dr. Andelloux said. “I enjoy the challenge of not knowing what’s going to walk through your door, and seeing a wide range of ailments.”

With his roots in Southeastern New England, Dr. Andelloux is moving from Rhode Island to Nantucket in part to be closer to his family, and has purchased a home on the island with his partner Megan.

“We’ve been coming to Nantucket for 10 years,” Dr. Andelloux said. “We fell in love with the island, and not just in the summer, but also in the offseason when it’s quiet and peaceful. We will enjoy living here year-round.” (more…)

Hemos visto los primeros casos confirmados de corona virus en Nantucket y necesitamos comunicarle de los cambios en curso que se estan implementando en el Hospital Nantucket Cottage. Los cuales son para mantenerlo a usted, a su bebé y al personal de Maternidad lo más seguro y saludable posible.

 La Maternidad en NCH es una de las áreas más seguras y aisladas del hospital. Según nuestros rigurosos protocolos de control de infecciones, todas las personas que ingresan al hospital son examinadas para detectar cualquier síntoma viral (fiebre, tos, dolor de garganta, dolor muscular o falta de aliento). Además, el lugar de nacimiento es una unidad cerrada para la seguridad de nuestros pacientes y sus bebés, y solo un número muy limitado de miembros del personal tiene acceso a la unidad.

A Memo from Dr. Margot Hartmann, President & CEO of Nantucket Cottage Hospital
(February 15, 2018)

I am writing to let you know, in plenty of time, about the succession plan I and the Board of Trustees have put together for my position at NCH. This will be about an 18-month process to bring us safely into our exciting new building and through the completion of our historic capital campaign. I am very grateful for how far we have come, and want to ensure a good plan to address our ongoing challenges.

A search will begin shortly for our next President and CEO, which is expected to take some months. Once that person begins, he or she will assume the day-to-day operational role and responsibilities of CEO, while I remain alongside as President of NCH through the Summer of 2019.

I foresee this as a careful and prudent handover, given these transformative times for our hospital, and look forward to our continuing work together to achieve the best for NCH and the island community we serve.
