Each year, hospital leaders and others committed to excellent health care in Vermont gather for the Vermont Association of Hospitals and Health Systems Annual Meeting. There, they participate in general and break-out sessions where they learn about and work together on issues important to care in Vermont. This year, the theme of the annual meeting is “Community Connections.” We will explore how various organizations in our community—including hospitals and other health care providers, but also businesses, government agencies and other groups—can work together to support one another.
