NANTUCKET – For the fourth year in a row, Nantucket Cottage Hospital (NCH) will receive a Partner Recognition Award from Practice Greenhealth for its environmental stewardship.
The award is one of the Environmental Excellence Awards given each year to honor environmental achievements in the health care sector.
