The Senate concurrent resolution No. R-36 congratulates Brattleboro Memorial Hospital on its 120th anniversary, recognizing its unique origins linked to the marriage of Thomas Thompson and Elizabeth Rowel, which led to the establishment of the hospital through a significant financial legacy. The hospital, originally opened in 1904 as the Hemlocks Hospital, has evolved over the years to meet the growing healthcare needs of the Brattleboro community, expanding its facilities and services significantly, including the addition of various buildings dedicated to patient care and outpatient services.

The resolution highlights the hospital's achievements, including its recognition by the Lown Institute as the top Vermont hospital for Social Responsibility, Health Equity, and Community Benefit. The General Assembly expresses its congratulations to Brattleboro Memorial Hospital for reaching this milestone and directs the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to the hospital.
