Legal dispute over who pays for care of Bennington County destitute
In a Chancery Court filing the three town agents of Bennington County sue Putnam Memorial Hospital to decide if the hospital or municipalities may charge for indigent medical care. The hospital contends funds came from gifts and the water department, while the towns seek mandatory free care for the destitute as defined by the Henry W. Putnam Deed of Gift.
