Successful recruitment of providers from a wide range of specialties strengthens regional access to primary, specialty care

Burlington, VT, Nov. 6, 2025– Thirty-three health care providers from various disciplines have joined University of Vermont Health supporting the regional health system’s commitment to strengthening access to primary and specialty care for the communities it serves.

Many of these providers deliver care at one or more the Vermont Health’s partner hospitals.  And while not all are available for direct patient appointments, each plays a vital role in patient care through their expertise and significantly contribute to patient outcomes. Referrals may be required and wait times vary by service.Learn more about these providers and other valued members of the medical staff at Find a Provider | University of Vermont Health.
