The Senate concurrent resolution No. R-36 congratulates Brattleboro Memorial Hospital on its 120th anniversary, highlighting its unique origins linked to the marriage of Thomas Thompson and Elizabeth Rowel. Their financial legacy, along with a probate court ruling, facilitated the establishment of the hospital in 1904, which began as the Hemlocks Hospital and included a 37-bed facility and a nursing training program. Over the years, the hospital has expanded significantly to meet community needs, with several major improvements and additions to its campus.

The resolution acknowledges the hospital's evolution into a comprehensive healthcare facility, now licensed for 61 beds and employing over 600 staff members. It has been recognized by the Lown Institute for its commitment to social responsibility, health equity, and community benefit. The resolution concludes by expressing the General Assembly's congratulations to Brattleboro Memorial Hospital on this significant milestone and directs the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to the hospital.
