BENNINGTON, Vt. — Southwestern Vermont Medical Center has welcomed gastroenterologist Ashley Maranino, MD, to the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Putnam Medical Group.

Dr. Maranino received her medical degree from Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, N.Y. She completed residency in internal medicine at New York Presbyterian Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York City and a fellowship in gastroenterology at the Sarah C. Upham Division of Gastroenterology & Hepatobiliary Diseases at the Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, N.Y.

“Dr. Maranino is a great addition to our community. She has the expertise and personal skills to make a significant impact in the level of gastroenterology services available to our patients,” said Trey Dobson, chief medical officer of SVMC and medical director of Dartmouth-Hitchcock Putnam Physicians.

Maranino is certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine and is a member of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, the American Gastroenterological Association and the American College of Gastroenterology.

“I love seeing office patients and working in the endoscopy lab. Gastroenterology is a perfect blend for me. I like this branch of medicine because it encompasses multiple organ systems,” Maranino said. “I look forward to joining the dedicated and collegial group of health professionals at SVMC and to making a real difference in the community.”

Companion Corner: Orion Still at Second Chance Animal Shelter

By Breanna SteeleiBerkshires Staff

GOOD NEWS: Orion has been adopted!

ARLINGTON, Vt. — Orion's had a hard live and he's been patiently waiting a very long time for his forever home.

 
iBerkshire's Companion Corner is a weekly series spotlighting an animal in our local shelters that is ready to find a home.
 
Orion is a 7- to 8-year-old pit bull mix who has been at Second Chance Animal Shelter since 2021. He was featured last August but still hasn't found a home. 
 
Shelter Manager Troy Quinn said Orion came to them from animal control after experiencing neglect.
 
"He was found by animal control on a property, tied to a tree, no shelter, no food or water. He was severely emaciated, very sick, very skinny, very weak. Brought him in, he tested positive for heartworm," Quinn said.
 
Once they rescued him, got rid of his heartworm, and got him up to normal weight, his silly and active side came out.
 
"He is a giant goofball. Loves to run, loves to play very rough house, loves to chew on his toys. Stuffed toys in particular, he just immediately shreds them," Quinn said.
