Townshend
is a charming, close-knit rural community located 20 miles north
of Brattleboro
in the heart of the Green Mountains. Townshend and surrounding
towns are among the most picturesque and unspoiled communities
in all of New England. With low unemployment, the economy is stable
and is driven largely by recreational tourism, healthcare, agriculture,
and light industry. The area offers world class skiing, hiking,
fly fishing, biking and other outdoor activities, and is home
to the resorts of Stratton
Mountain and Mount Snow.
Grace Cottage Hospital garners tremendous community support in
its core service area and the hospital benefits from a large,
committed volunteer base.
The small size of our full-service hospital makes
possible the warm, individualized, professional care for which
we are recognized. With 19 in-patient beds we are also premier
providers of outpatient and rehabilitation services. Join our
distinguished team and experience the camaraderie and support
of the small hospital that's big on quality.
