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 developing community- and data- informed options to transform Vermont's healthcare system that improve access, affordability, quality, and sustainability. Information about the project and work to date can be found here: https://gmcboard.vermont.gov/Act-167-Community-Meetings#Past.
The GMCB is holding a second round of in-person community meetings across the state to discuss its findings and options for health system transformation. You can participate in three ways:
1) The Chittenden County regional in-person meeting will be held on Monday, July 29, 2024 from 4:30 - 6:00 pm in the South Burlington Public Library- Auditorium.
