Brattleboro Reformer Health Columns from BMH

Brattleboro Memorial Hospital submits information to the Brattleboro Reformer every month or so to provide a column for insertion on the Wednesday Health Page. It’s called “For Your Health”. These articles are written by various physicians on the BMH Medical Staff, and also clinicians from throughout the hospital. They cover a variety of topics.

If you don’t see one you remember reading and would like to see again, or if you would like to suggest a future topic for the “For Your Health” column, please call the BMH Community Relations office at 802-257-8316 to request it.

Thank you, and happy reading!
