1904 Legacy Society

In 2007, The 1904 Legacy Society was established at Brattleboro Memorial Hospital to recognize those supporters who have constructed legacy gifts that will benefit Brattleboro Memorial Hospital at some time in the future.

“I have always believed that sharing with the community is an important part of my responsibility as a member of the community. It also gives me a sense of participation. I have been blessed in my life and the only way to say thanks to those who have supported me emotionally and financially is to leave a percent of my estate to people and institutions that mean a lot to me. Health care is such a major issue in today’s world and my contribution in the grand scheme of things is miniscule but I know that all the little bits of life make up a whole that is greater than the sum of the parts. I encourage anyone to include BMH in their will even if it is just a few dollars. Every dollar counts. No contribution is too small”. ----Anonymous----
