The committee will comprise members of the senior management and governing boards of D-H, Brattleboro Memorial Hospital, a 61-bed hospital in southern Vermont with projected revenue of $76.3 million in fiscal 2016, and Keene–based Cheshire Medical Center, a hospital, and Dartmouth-Hitchcock Keene, a clinic.
The participating providers previously cooperated in oncology, radiology and emergency care. The new committee will look to expand ties in administrative and clinical services and make recommendations “regarding the operationalizing of the collaboration,” a release said.
