In 1895, Homer W. Heaton founded Heaton Hospital in Montpelier, Vermont.[2] In the neighboring city of Barre, Frank E. Langley and community leaders built Barre City Hospital in 1907.

In 1961, the Vermont State Health Commission recommended that the two hospitals merge to eliminate duplication of services but continue providing health care to Washington County, Vermont. The medical staff of Mayo Memorial Hospital,[3] a small 29-bed osteopathic hospital located 15 miles to the south in Northfield, also voted to join in the merger. In 1968, Central Vermont Hospital was constructed in Berlin, Vermont,[4] between the two cities.

Now known as Central Vermont Medical Center, CVMC is affiliated with the University of Vermont Health Network, though it maintains an independent Board of Trustees.[1]
