Brattleboro Memorial Hospital Names Interim CEO Amid Budget Crisis
Brattleboro Memorial Hospital's board named David Sanville, a healthcare finance consultant and former Mt. Ascutney Hospital CFO, as interim CEO effective at the start of fiscal year 2027. He replaces co-CEOs Tony Blofson and Elizabeth McLarney, who led the hospital for a year following the unexplained departures of the prior president and CFO in late 2025. The hospital faces a forecast $7.1 million deficit for fiscal 2027, following an estimated $9.5 million shortfall in fiscal 2026, and Vermont's Green Mountain Care Board recently level-funded the facility's budget pending clarification of inconsistencies in its proposal. The hospital does not expect to break even until fiscal 2028 at the earliest.
The hospital's sustained operating losses and unresolved budget inconsistencies with state regulators signal financial instability that could affect provider network access and Medicaid beneficiaries' care continuity in southeastern Vermont.
