Mayo Memorial Hospital

Mayo Memorial Hospital

In 1936, Northfield resident Cordelia DeLary purchased the former Shuttleworth House on Vine Street for the purpose of turning it into a local hospital. A great deal of fundraising was set in motion, as well as major structural changes made to the then 14-room house. Named after Dr. William Mayo, long-time physician to the town's residents, the hospital continued to operate until the 1960s. Eventually the Mayo Hospital joined with other local hospitals to form the Central Vermont Medical Center in Berlin, Vt.
