Vermont community rallies to save local health center from closure due to $100M budget cuts.

Workers and patients at the Mad River Valley Health Center in Vermont are rallying to prevent the closure of their primary care clinic due to budget cuts by the UVM Health Network. The cuts, totaling over $100 million, affect services like mental health and substance use treatment, and are mandated by the Green Mountain Care Board. The closure could impact healthcare access for about 3,000 patients and affect communities beyond Waitsfield. Demonstrators hope to save vital healthcare services from these cuts.
