Today, the Green Mountain Care Board (GMCB) announced the start of the statewide community engagement project to support hospital transformation. Guided by the legislature’s directive in Act 167 of 2022, this project will identify community-informed opportunities to improve the sustainability of Vermont’s health care system.
“Our health care system is facing a sustainability crisis while at the same time Vermonters are struggling with staggering health care costs,” Owen Foster, GMCB Chair. “This project allows communities to intentionally plan ways to improve local access to affordable, quality care with the support of experts in data analytics and health system transformation.”
In 2022, the legislature allocated funding for GMCB to review data and solicit local input to develop options that ensure Vermonters have sustained access to affordable care.
