"I came to your Emergency Department frightened, anxious, and in pain, with little knowledge of the source of my pain, but fearing the worst. Your team displayed a collective ability to understand the complexities of providing medical care and to translate that understanding, mixing the right portions of keen observation, sound judgement, and kind words to deliver precisely what I needed during my care. Your team exemplified the very best care for which any patient could ask.” ~ John Harrington, Dummerston, VT
"I was welcomed the moment I arrived at the door of the ER. I can't thank Grace Cottage enough. I'm so grateful for your care!" ~ Elaine Flynn, Hanson, MA

About the Emergency Department

The Emergency Department team at Grace Cottage Hospital knows how stressful your trip to the ED can be, whether you are here following an accident, bringing in an injured child, worrying about an elderly neighbor suffering from chest pains, or for some other medical emergency.

Our six-bed Emergency Department offers high-tech trauma and critical care, specialized behavioral health care, and four treatment areas. If you need a higher level of care, we will stabilize you and arrange ground or air transport to a nearby trauma center to ensure your treatment is seamless.

Patients in Grace Cottage’s ED now have the added benefit of TeleNeurology, with 24/7 bedside consultations with a Dartmouth Health neurologist, and TeleEmergency consults with a Dartmouth Health emergency medicine specialist.

Here’s our promise: Our skilled, specially-trained medical staff will deliver state-of-the-art emergency medical care and diagnostic testing 24 hours a day, seven days a week, every day of the year. And we will never lose sight of you — our patient – or your family.

Grace Cottage Family Health & Hospital provides emergency care to all, regardless of a patient’s ability to pay.
