BMH Nursing Leadership Changes
Barry Beeman, President and CEO of Brattleboro Memorial
Hospital has appointed Mary Urquhart, RN, Vice President
of Patient Care Services. Urquhart assumed the position
upon the recent retirement of Katherine Anderson, RN.
Urquhart was promoted to Assistant Vice President
last year, and started in her new role on February 1.
With her new title comes direct supervision of the Emergency
Department and its physicians, the Department of Community
Health & Hospital Education, Medical-Surgical, Special
Care, the Birthing Center, and the Perioperative, CardioRespiratory,
and Anesthesia Departments. Urquhart was the former
Director of Nursing at Grace Cottage Hospital for eight
years prior to coming to Brattleboro Memorial in 2002.
Since coming to BMH, she has served as Director of Woman’s
and Surgical Services and as Interim Vice President
of Patient Care Service during the hospital’s
CEO transition in 2005, when former VP of Patient Care
Services Katherine Anderson, RN, assumed the role of
interim CEO.
Anderson came to Brattleboro Memorial Hospital in
1997, when a hospital in Connecticut at which she held
a similar position merged with another. During her eleven
years at BMH, she provided leadership and direction
to the Patient Care Services division as a compassionate
and dedicated member of the administration. Anderson
helped the hospital grow and develop into one of Vermont’s
best community hospitals.
Anderson’s future plans include teaching a master’s
level course in healthcare administration at the Marlboro
Graduate Center. She plans to stay in the area, along
with her parents and younger daughter, Jennifer.
