    As pharmacies across Vermont close, North Star Health opens 3 new ones - Valley News (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    SPRINGFIELD — In the era of independent pharmacy closures and ballooning drug costs, a new pharmacy that charges less for drugs seems counterintuitive, if not impossible. But that’s exactly what North Star Health, a Federally Qualified Health Center that operates medical clinics in Vermont and New Hampshire, did when it officially launched three new pharmacies in Springfield, Vt., Londonderry, Vt., and Charlestown, NH on Tuesday. In Springfield, pharmacists, patients and local leaders filled the

    Vermont primary care shortage: Fewer doctors available - Valley News (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Vermont continues to lose its primary care doctors — but the rate of loss is slowing, a new survey from the state’s Department of Health shows.

    Read excerpt

    Individuals and small businesses that buy health insurance on the state marketplace will see their premiums rise between 1% to 6% next year. The Green Mountain Care Board, Vermont’s independent health care regulator, set rate increases late Monday night for coverage sold on Vermont Health Connect, the state’s Affordable Care Act marketplace. Each summer, the board issues binding orders on how much insurers can raise those plans’ premiums. BlueCross BlueShield of Vermont and MVP Health Care are t

    Dartmouth Health to end Tele-ICU and Tele-ED services - Valley News (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Dartmouth Health expects to end its Tele-ICU and Tele-ED services, a move that would affect five Vermont hospitals and more across the region. They “are two services whose costs, at our current scale, without external support, are simply unsustainable,” Audra Burns, a spokesperson for the health network, told VtDigger.
