Brattleboro Memorial Hospital Secures Funding for Regional Maternity Care Model
What happened
Brattleboro Memorial Hospital is leading a regional effort to plan for the future of maternity and newborn care in Southeast Vermont. The hospital received $3.1 million in Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) funding to support this initiative. The goal is to develop a sustainable model for delivering these services through the Southeast Vermont Perinatal & Newborn Access Network.

Why it matters
The funding allows the hospital to continue its services, which include operating Southeast Vermont’s only remaining hospital-based birthing center. The services were facing a recent plan to close due to financial challenges, which was reversed thanks to the new funding.
State healthcare issues led to hospital service reductions in Vermont, influenced by California's pricing model.
