- Brattleboro Memorial Hospital plans to close its birthing center
Brattleboro Memorial Hospital plans to close its birthing center due to financial losses exceeding $3.8 million in 2025 and projected $4.8 million in 2026. The closure will take six to nine months, affecting approximately 50 staff members and prompting community outrage. The hospital must seek public input before proceeding, and alternatives for local obstetric care are being explored with state agencies.
