SHIRENOMICS: THE HEALTHCARE OF TOMORROW IN SOUTHWESTERN VERMONT

Regional agencies work to retain workforce and promote preventative health care outside the doctor’s office

By Makayla-Courtney McGeeney in partnership with Southwestern Vermont Chamber of Commerce

In Southwestern Vermont, also known as The Shires of Vermont, residents are never too far without a health clinic of some sort, or knowing someone who is employed by the largest growing industry. Without a 24/7 rescue squad, full-service hospital, and numerous specialty clinics, residents of Bennington County wouldn’t have the quality of health that they do. It’s not just the rolling Green Mountains and maple syrup that keep everyone healthy, it’s on-the-ground and in the community prevention work.
