The UVM Health Network

The University of Vermont Health Network is the parent organization of a four-hospital, cross-lake partnership that establishes a highly integrated health care system serving the communities of Vermont and northern New York. The hospitals include The University of Vermont Medical Center in Burlington, Vermont; Central Vermont Medical Center (CVMC) in Barre, Vermont; Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital (CVPH) in Plattsburgh, New York; and Elizabethtown Community Hospital in Elizabethtown, New York.

This integrated health delivery system includes more than 1,000 physicians, more than 2,000 nurses and countless other health care professionals. Over the next several years, the UVM Health Network will carry out centralized activities for the benefit of patients of all the partner organizations, including:

• Improving access to local care
• Providing greater purchasing power
• Enhancing information technology
• Increasing academic opportunities for physicians
• Engaging in regional strategic planning
• Participating in joint quality and clinical initiatives

Working Together While Preserving Unique Identities

Under the affiliation, the UVM Medical Center, Central Vermont Medical Center, Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital, and Elizabethtown Community Hospital will remain separate free-standing hospitals with their own boards, management, workforce, licensure, medical staff (including credentialing and governance) and endowment. The medical staffs of each hospital will remain separate with separate credentialing and governance..

Governance

The UVM Health Network's 19-member Board of Trustees is drawn from the membership of the organization's current boards and medical staffs, including seven members from the UVM Medical Center, four members from Community Partners Incorporated (CPI, the parent company of CVPH and Elizabethtown Community Hospital), four members from CVMC, two ex-officio members (the president and chief executive officer of the UVM Medical Center Partners and the dean of the University of Vermont College of Medicine), and two vacant seats to accommodate future affiliations. Upon expiration of the terms of current members, replacements will be elected by the Partners Board and do not need to be trustees of any subsidiary board.
