🌼 Congratulations to Jessica Patterson, director of Patient Experience and Quality, recipient of the DAISY Leadership Award!

Nominated by Sara Paige, RN, Jessica was recognized for an extraordinary act of kindness. When a patient being discharged from the Emergency Department needed shoes on a cold day, Jessica quietly gave the patient the shoes off her own feet.

As Sara shared in her nomination, Jessica's actions reflected "selflessness, humbly serving others by putting someone else's needs before her own."

Thank you, Jessica, for embodying the compassion and caring at the heart of our mission. 💛

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.

🎥 Watch Rusty’s journey.

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.
