To the Editor: As residents of Bennington whose children are healthcare professionals and members of our community, we want to voice our wholehearted support for Southwestern Vermont Healthcareâs (SVHC) acquisition of the former Southern Vermont College campus. Having lived in Bennington for over 60 years, we realize how fortunate we are to have this wonderful health care system at our doorstep. We, like many, have been guilty of taking this vital asset for granted in the past but there should be no doubt that the role it plays in our community is immeasurable.

Vermont Business Magazine On February 1, two community members set out to raise $500,000 in support for Southwestern Vermont Health Care’s (SVHC) project to reimagine the former Southern Vermont College campus by February 28. They called it The Grateful Bennington Fund.
“We started The Grateful Bennington Fund as a show of support and appreciation for SVHC’s good works in our community,” stated David Newell, whose idea sparked the concept.
“We are in the final week of the time we have to get this done,” said Michael McKenna, the fund drive’s co-organizer. “While we have received so many wonderful notes and a lot of support, we still have a way to go.”
