So, what are these reports and why do they matter?

Our Community Needs Assessment helps us better understand the most pressing health needs, challenges, and priorities within the communities we serve. It incorporates community input and data to identify where resources, programs, and services can have the greatest impact.

Our Community Benefits Summary highlights how Cottage Hospital invests in community health — from patient care services and outreach initiatives to education, prevention, and support programs.

We conduct these assessments to ensure we remain responsive, transparent, and aligned with the needs of our region. They play a vital role in guiding decision-making, shaping programs, and strengthening the care we provide to our neighbors.

We invite you to review the reports and learn more about how Cottage Hospital is working to support a healthier community.

Last month, we had the pleasure of welcoming curious young minds from French Pond School to Cottage Hospital for a behind-the-scenes look at the world of diagnostic imaging!

These 5th–8th grade students are currently studying the skeletal system, making this visit a perfect real-world connection to what they’re learning in the classroom. Our team introduced them to different imaging modalities and explained how each one helps providers see inside the body to diagnose and treat patients.

🩻 X-ray: Students learned how X-rays help us view bones and detect fractures.
🖥 CT Scanner: They explored how CT imaging provides detailed cross-section views of the body.
🔊 Sonography (Ultrasound): They discovered how sound waves are used to create images of organs and soft tissues.

The group also toured our newly renovated Med Surg patient rooms, where they saw how modern hospital spaces are designed with patient comfort, safety, and healing in mind.

We love inspiring the next generation of healthcare professionals and showing students how science and technology come together to care for our community. Thank you for visiting, French Pond School — we hope to see some of you back here one day in scrubs! 💙

🦠 Flu Season Is in Full Swing — Here’s How to Stay Healthy

Flu cases are rising, and the most common strain this year is Influenza A H3N2, which can sometimes cause more severe illness. Typical symptoms include fever, chills, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, and headache.

🛡️ Protect yourself and your family:
✔ Get your flu shot — it can still help protect you from multiple strains, even if you’ve already been sick
✔ Wash your hands often and cover coughs and sneezes
✔ Stay home when you’re feeling unwell and consider masking around others

🩺 If you get sick:
Testing can help determine whether you have flu, COVID-19, or RSV, which guides treatment. Antiviral medications like Tamiflu work best when started early. Rest, fluids, and symptom relief medications can also help you recover more comfortably.

🏥 Where to go for care:
Most flu symptoms can be managed through your primary care provider or urgent care. The Emergency Department is available for testing, but should be used for severe symptoms like trouble breathing, chest pain, confusion, dehydration, or if you are at higher risk and symptoms are worsening.

Let’s work together to keep our community healthy this flu season 💙
