Henry W. Putnam Circle

There is no better way to leave a legacy than to remember Southwestern Vermont Health Care in your estate plans.

By including SVHC in your will now, you can make a lasting contribution to ensure that the resources necessary to serve the health care needs of our community are heare for future generations.

Making a bequest is as simple as asking your attorney to include specific language in your will expressing your wish to do so. Once you have made a bequest and informed SVHC that you have done so, you may become a member of Henry W. Putnam Circle.

The Circle is named in honor of our first benefactor, Henry W. Putnam, Sr., who deeded the Bennington Water Works to the Town of Bennington in 1912 "for the establishment of a public hospital." The Circle also pays tribute to his son, Henry W. Putnam, Jr., who supported the hospital with many lifetime gifts, followed by his $3 million bequest that today forms the nucleus of the endowment funds.

Membership in the Henry W. Putnam Circle is awarded by voluntary application to those who provide for Southwestern Vermont Health Care or one of its nonprofit subsidiaries in their wills or estate plans.
