At Rutland Regional Medical Center (RRMC), we believe healthcare is more than a profession, it’s a calling. Since our founding in 1896 with just ten beds, one telephone, and a single bathroom, we’ve grown with purpose and intention. Our legacy is rooted in community, innovation, and compassionate care; values that continue to guide us as we evolve to meet the needs of a changing world.

From our early days on Nichols Street to our groundbreaking transition to the Allen Street campus in 1958, RRMC has been a pioneer in rural medicine. Innovation has always been part of our DNA, whether it was installing oxygen lines in patient rooms or connecting hospital floors through intercom systems. Today, that same spirit drives us forward.

Our Present & Purpose

Now the second-largest healthcare provider in Vermont and the state’s largest community hospital, RRMC is home to nearly 1,800 dedicated staff, more than 200 physicians, and 37 specialty areas. We deliver high-quality, patient-centered care across every stage of life, not only to Rutland County, but to communities throughout Vermont and neighboring New York.

Our scope is broad, yet our approach is deeply personal. From nationally recognized programs like the Foley Cancer Center to comprehensive services in cardiology, orthopedics, women’s health, and beyond; our work is grounded in a fundamental belief: true healing begins with human connection.
