Brattleboro Birthing Center Stays Open | Montpelier News

Brattleboro Memorial Hospital is keeping its birthing center open after initially planning to shut it down — a win for the community thanks to secured federal funding. While the center remains vital, it’s been financially draining, contributing to the hospital’s projected $9.5 million operating loss this year. Next year’s budget still shows a deficit, but it’s expected to shrink to $7.1 million as part of a longer-term recovery plan. For now, local expectant parents can breathe easier knowing their birthing options are preserved. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
