Brattleboro Memorial names David Sanville interim CEO
Brattleboro (Vt.) Memorial Hospital named David Sanville interim CEO effective Oct. 1, according to an Oct. 1 news release cited by Becker's Hospital Review. Sanville has worked with the hospital since October 2025 through his consulting firm, DUNAMIS Consulting Services, serving as executive financial consultant and, for part of that period, interim CFO.
Tony Blofson, MD, and Elizabeth McLarney, MD, who had served as acting co-CEOs since October 2025, will step down from those roles this month and become senior advisers to the interim CEO, the release said. Fred Schaffner, named CFO in May, will continue to lead the hospital's financial operations.
Sanville previously spent more than nine years as CFO and ancillary service senior leader at Mt. Ascutney Hospital and Health Center in Windsor, Vt., part of Lebanon, N.H.-based Dartmouth Health, and more than 14 years at Gifford Medical Center in Randolph, Vt., including nearly 13 years as CFO and vice president of finance.
The hospital is licensed for up to 61 beds and serves about 55,000 people across Vermont, New Hampshire and Massachusetts, according to its website. Sanville will lead the organization while the board searches for a permanent CEO.
