Hi Everyone, I know this is a HUGE announcement but this is VERY relevant. This team of "consultants" is touring the state via Zoom and "listening" to providers and community members and will report back to the Green Mountain Care Board, this will affect budgets and potentially produce recommendations to rearrange where services are available in the state, this will include access to hospitals, ERs, maternal care, specialty care, and all services. Please try to educate yourself and attend meetings in both your home and work towns.
Community Engagement to Support Hospital Transformation

In 2022, the legislature passed Act 167 (of 2022) which called for healthcare delivery reform in the state of Vermont. A central part of this legislation is a listening tour to hear directly from Vermonters about current experiences with the healthcare system and what you would like to see in the future. The information gleaned in these meetings will be used to inform options to support hospitals in identifying short, medium, and long-term actions to keep them sustainable.
We hope you will lend your voice to these important discussions by registering for an upcoming virtual meeting in your region below.
Not sure which region to join? The meetings are organized into regions based on Vermont’s 14 hospitals. You are invited to join the discussion for any region you feel connected to – this could be where you or your loved ones live, work, or receive health care services.
What is a Provider Meeting vs Community Meeting? The Community Meetings are to hear from Vermonters about their lived experiences with the healthcare system. Provider Meetings are tailored specifically to receive feedback from people who provide or help support health care services. If you fall into both categories, we invite you to attend one or both meetings.
Can’t attend the meeting(s) in your region? We know that not everyone will be able to attend the meetings in their region. If you cannot attend your preferred meeting, consider attending the other meeting for your region (e.g. if you are a provider who can only attend the community meeting, please sign up!), attending one of the statewide meetings listed at the bottom of this page, or sending written feedback through GMCB’s public comment form.
The current meeting schedule is below. You are encouraged to register for the meeting to receive a confirmation email with the Zoom information and the option to add it to your calendar. The Zoom links will also be added to this page the week of the meeting. For general questions, to request an accommodation, or for inquiries about accessibility, please email the Green Mountain Care Board (GMCB.Board@vermont.gov) or call Marisa Melamed (802-377-0194).
