Brattleboro Memorial Hospital (BMH) has been cited as Vermont’s most socially responsible acute care hospital by the Lown Institute, a Massachusetts-based non-partisan healthcare think tank.

Results are based on data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the Internal Revenue Service, and other sources. “We are thrilled that our efforts to promote social responsibility are making a difference in our community, and that they are being quantified and recognized on a national level.
