As pharmacies across Vermont close, North Star Health opens 3 new ones - Valley News (opens the original)
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)
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. In 2024, Vermont had 529 people working as primary care providers; in 2022, when the Department of Health last conducted its survey, 569 physicians practiced primary care in Vermont.

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)
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. The network, which has two affiliate hospitals in Vermont and its flagship academic medical center minutes across the border in Lebanon, is the second-largest healthcare provider
