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.
The new hospital on Swiftwater Road was dedicated. It housed 32 beds
and more advanced ancillary facilities.
A capital campaign raised $350,000 to build the Emergency department
and patient room wing.
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.
A $300,000 capital campaign helped expand the radiology department.
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.
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.
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.
Cottage Hospital continues working on 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.
