Casey Kolb Nava: A Lasting Legacy. "Almost every time I’m in the car with a relative, I learn something new about my family’s history. "Sometimes it’s a small graveyard with the remains of one of our 1700s ancestors. Sometimes it’s an unexpected link to historical figures like Ethan Allen or George Dewey, who was from Montpelier and became Admiral of the United States Navy. Sometimes it’s something humbler – a pasture with a beautiful view that was once owned by another branch of the family. "I wasn’t born and raised here – I grew up near Washington D.C. – but these connections to Central Vermont have been important to me since I was a kid. We often visited family here and soaked up stories about the past from older relatives. When I moved here with my family in 2015, I saw all this history with fresh eyes and started to appreciate how much the past is tied up with the present and the future. "The place where this all comes together for me is what my family calls the “Old Farm,” at the end of Slaughterhouse Road outside of Northfield Falls. It’s all the way at the top of the hill there. "My great-grandfather had this idea in the ’60s to turn the land into a red-pine farm that could be harvested for telephone poles. My grandparents, my dad and his five siblings spent a lot of time planting trees on this 160-acre piece of land. Every school break they would be out there planting. "By the ’90s, the trees were grown, but no one wanted to cut them down. The land was too beautiful and filled with wildlife – we see moose tracks up there and “our bear” comes through regularly. It’s one of those places where Vermont’s past and present coexist." Casey Kolb Nava, MD is the medical director of the Central Vermont Medical Center hospitalist group. She’s been with us for more than nine years. Casey's story is part of the Mosaic Project, a collection of short stories about the people of University of Vermont Health Network.

The 340B prescription drug discount program is a vital lifeline for safety-net health care organizations that provide a high level of services to vulnerable and rural communities. Senator Welch’s PATIENTS Act of 2024 will ensure the 1,500 clinical providers at University of Vermont Health Network are able to better meet the needs of patients seeking necessary care 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

At this point, the easy answer to high health care costs would be to reduce next year’s hospital budgets and call it a win for affordability. But in truth, it would shortchange Vermonters and only further drive up costs overall as we tried to catch up. As nonprofit hospitals, funding to make investments in access for our patients and to support our workforce come from limited sources. Shrinking those sources significantly reduces our ability to make forward progress, let alone preserve what we already have, for the patients who need us today.

Residents of Vermont and northern New York have been warned: Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) is in our area. The mosquito-borne illness has infected several people across New England. Local health experts recommend the following prevention measures to stay safe.

As concerns mount in our region about EEE, or eastern equine encephalitis, health experts recommend taking basic precautions to avoid mosquito bites. And while many people dislike the smell of insect repellant, using it correctly can prevent EEE and other deadly or life-altering diseases far better than products that contain only citronella or essential oils. Joseph Kennedy, MD, an emergency physician and medical toxicologist at UVM Medical Center, spoke with The New York Times earlier this summer about DEET, the active ingredient in many repellents. https://lnkd.in/eXZ5C582

University of Vermont Health Network is grateful for Senator Peter Welch’s leadership in addressing the physician fee schedule, which has not kept up with inflation for decades. This is a major issue that disproportionately impacts rural Americans, hinders access to care, and adds to the burden of commercial insurers who already shoulder more than their fair share of increasing health care costs. We appreciate Senator Welch taking decisive, bipartisan action to ensure our patients and communities have access to high quality care close to home. https://lnkd.in/eQzrr9Mp

To reduce barriers to employment and create more opportunities for career advancement, we invest in multiple English language programs for some 175 employees and counting. Xi Chen is one beneficiary. She settled in Vermont after fleeing Burundi, a nation in crisis. Despite arriving without knowing English, Xi eventually landed a job as a cleaner at a UVM Medical Center. She then signed up for the hospital's English language training programs, earning a licensed nurse assistant certification. Xi is currently enrolled in UVMMC’s RN pathway program which provides her support needed to work towards obtaining her RN degree.
