Today, we pause and recognize the veterans that make up our workforce and communities, as well as the families whose support made their service possible.

The leadership, resilience, and commitment demonstrated by veterans continue to make a meaningful impact in our workplace and communities every day. Their dedication to serving others extends far beyond their military service.

To all who have served, and those who continue to serve, thank you.

Colleagues and community members gathered for a ribbon cutting to celebrate Porter's new Musculoskeletal Clinic in Middlebury.

Bringing Orthopedics, Podiatry and Rehabilitation services together under one roof, the new clinic features expanded treatment space, advanced imaging technology and a larger rehabilitation gym.

The investment helps Porter meet growing demand for specialty care and improve access for patients across Addison County.

And a special shoutout to Greta, the four-legged member of the Naylor & Breen Builders, Inc. construction crew who kept an eye on the project along the way!

💙 A five-minute conversation could make all the difference.

That's why Rochelle "Shelly" Paquette, DNP, is bringing cancer prevention and screening services directly into communities across northern New York and Vermont.

🔎 At a recent health fair in Ticonderoga, she provided skin cancer screenings, answered questions and helped connect people to the care they may need. "If we can help someone understand their risk, complete a screening, or catch something earlier than we otherwise would have, that can be lifesaving," she says.

One conversation, one screening and one person at a time. Read the full story by clicking the link in the comments.

Keeping up with recommended preventive care and screenings is an important part of taking care of yourself.

Plans on Vermont Health Connect and many employer plans cover recommended screenings and other preventive and reproductive health services at no cost to you, when provided according to guidelines.

That can include services like Pap tests, depression screenings, and mammograms.

And if you are denied coverage or charged incorrect out-of-pocket costs for these services, you have the right to file a complaint or appeal.

Note: Coverage depends on your specific health plan. Some employer plans may be exempt from Vermont law.
