Not conscious. Not breathing. No pulse. They were alone. First responders were on the way, but his grandmother’s life was slipping away in front of him. Ryan Long, 14 years old, didn’t know what to do.

Earlier this month, our Community Health Improvement team rolled up their sleeves and spent a rewarding day at Shelburne Farms in celebration of Community Health Improvement Week!

Together, they helped harvest an incredible amount of leftover produce that was donated to local foodshelves:
19 lbs of Swiss chard
103 lbs of lettuce
10 lbs of oregano
4 lbs of chives

Thank you for all that you do to make a difference! 💚

He thought it was just a migraine.

Then came the words no one expects to hear at 50: “You’ve got cancer.”

Rusty’s life changed overnight – but his mindset didn’t:

💬 “I might not have a lot of days, but I’ve got tomorrow.”

From northern New York to the The University of Vermont Cancer Center, a clinical trial gave him a path forward – and a way to help others facing cancer.

How far can your body and mind really go?

Ultramarathons test more than physical endurance. They require preparation, resilience and the ability to keep moving forward when things get hard.

In this episode of Living Healthy Together, two clinical nutritionists share what they've learned from training for some of the world's most demanding races - and the habits that help them perform their best.

Summer is here and with it so many ways to find joy in movement!

This is true for patients across the cancer continuum and it’s why doctors frequently recommend regular exercise to patients. Research shows that physical activity can boost energy, reduce fatigue, and support mental health through every stage of the cancer journey. That’s why many oncology teams encourage patients to find gentle, enjoyable ways to stay active.

Integrative Oncology Health & Wellness Coach Jessica Coleman of The University of Vermont Cancer Center reminds us that movement doesn’t have to be a workout to be meaningful. When it feels joyful, we’re more likely to keep going and that consistency can make a real difference for cancer patients and survivors.

Remote Patient Monitoring helps patients like Laurel Schoop take their own blood pressure at home along with other vitals that can be shared with doctors between office visits.

That data helps providers make faster, more informed decisions. It can also reduce emergency department visits. "Patients feel safer and have less anxiety knowing that a nurse is keeping an eye on them,” says Jaimie McKenzie, RN, remote patient monitor nurse coordinator at University of Vermont Health – Home Health & Hospice.

Think your child’s car seat is installed correctly? 🚗
After more than 4,000 car seat checks, one UVM Health expert says many families make the same mistakes.

We’re sharing simple, life-saving tips to help keep kids safe on the road:

✅ Tighten it up: Your car seat shouldn’t move more than 1 inch at the belt path.
✅ Skip the puffy coat: Bulky layers make harnesses less effective. Use thin layers instead.
✅ Don’t double up: Use either the seat belt or lower anchors – not both at the same time. And always use the tether for a forward-facing car seat.
✅ Don’t rush transitions: Use a seat that’s right for your child’s age and size. Beware of counterfeit seats that don’t meet safety standards.

Even experienced caregivers can benefit from a refresher. When it comes to safety, every detail matters.

Breast reconstruction doesn’t always feel complete when surgery is over. For many breast cancer patients, the absence of the nipple-areola complex is a lasting reminder of what they’ve been through.

At University of Vermont Health, 3D nipple-areola tattooing offers a way to restore both appearance and confidence—often as one of the final steps in recovery.

Performed in a clinical setting, this specialized procedure is tailored to each patient’s body, helping create a natural, realistic result.

“Patients tell me they just want to feel ‘normal’ again,” says Jenn Ashline, PA-C.
