University of Vermont Health
An academic health system linking hospitals, clinics, long-term care, home health and hospice across Vermont and northern New York, with shared clinical systems, research and medical and nursing education.
University of Vermont Health is an academic health system serving more than one million people across Vermont and northern New York. It combines a connected network of local hospitals and outpatient clinics with academic medical centre resources, delivering care through a continuum that extends to long-term care, home health and hospice.
The system's clinical operations run on shared electronic health records and integrated clinical systems, supported by digital patient tools and advanced diagnostics. Its technical work spans population health and the social determinants of health, alongside research and clinical trials conducted in partnership with the University of Vermont medical and nursing schools, which bring advanced treatments and new therapies to local communities.
Education is central to the institution's remit, with medical and nursing teaching carried out through those same university partnerships. Beyond clinical campuses, the organisation works with local community and service agencies on transportation, housing, nutrition, childcare, mental health and substance use.
The workforce is organised around collaboration among clinicians, researchers, educators and community partners. Employees are described as friends, neighbours and family members bringing compassion, expertise and humanity to care, in an integrated, team-based approach oriented toward healthier communities.
