Vermont Supreme Court Hearing Hints At July Ruling On Putnam Hospital Case
Oral arguments in the Putnam Memorial Hospital dispute over indigent care and the Henry W. Putnam Deed of Gift were heard by the Vermont Supreme Court. A decision is anticipated by July. The case centers on whether the hospital can bill public agencies for services to destitute county residents and whether the state can maintain financial arrangements under Old Age Assistance. The towns of Bennington County, led by attorney Henry F. Black, oppose the hospital’s charges, while the hospital’s Clifford G. Parker argues for the institution with support from Deputy Attorney General Chester Ketcham.
