The Brattleboro Retreat says it’s received official word that it cleared a recent federal inspection.
The psychiatric hospital was in danger of losing federal funding if deficiencies identified in earlier inspections weren’t corrected by November 15.
A retreat spokesman said on Thursday that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has informed the hospital that it is in compliance with federal regulations.
The three-day inspection wrapped up Wednesday.
The retreat has linked its challenges with CMS rules to the arrival of patients who would have gone to the now-closed Vermont State Hospital in Waterbury. The state invested heavily in a new unit for those patients at the Retreat as part of a new, decentralized mental health system.
