Cottage History
| 1903 |
Cottage Hospital began operation in what was known as the Cobleigh
Tavern, built in 1795 at today's junction of Routes 10 and 135
in Woodsville, New Hampshire. |
| |
| 1960 |
The new
hospital on Swiftwater Road was dedicated. It housed 32 beds
and more advanced ancillary facilities. |
| |
| 1970 |
A capital campaign raised $350,000
to build the Emergency department and patient room wing. |
| |
| 1985 |
The community, once again, responded
to the hospital's needs by making possible the Currier Wing,
with two state-of-the-art operating rooms, special care unit,
recovery room and central sterile supply rooms. Building funds
in excess of $675,000 were raised. |
| |
| 1991 |
A $300,000 capital campaign helped
expand the radiology department. |
| |
| 1992 |
Cottage Hospital began another period
of growth, welcoming many new physicians and services. Construction
of the hospital’s medical office building was completed
this year, providing four private suites for doctors’ offices. |
| |
| 1997 |
The hospital completed construction
of the Muffin Lyons Memorial Outpatient Center, a renovation/addition
project in memory of Dr. Laurel Lyons. “Muffin”,
as she preferred to be called, was a well-known and much-loved
physician who cared for many in the community for 17 years.
This $800,000 construction project was made possible by more than 1,000 donors
which included former patients, hospital employees, medical staff, family and
friends. The project expanded the emergency department, walk-in clinic, and provided
much needed outpatient space for our patients. |
| |
| 2000 |
The Cottage Hospital Rehabilitation
Center opened in March 2000. This new section of the building
houses the hospital’s Physical and Occupational Therapy
departments as well as Orthopedic Services. |
| |
| 2007 |
Cottage
Hospital just completed its latest expansion project. With the
completion of the new office building and the beginning of internal
renovations, we are making way for expansion of several clinical
areas within the hospital including Day Surgery, Radiology, Laboratory,
and our innovative Pain Clinic. |
