EXCEPTIONAL CARE AND COMFORT

Southwestern Vermont Health Care (SVHC), an integrated non-profit health system, has a proud 100-year history as an innovator in health care delivery. It includes a 99-bed hospital, 25 primary care and specialty care practices, two nursing homes, and a foundation at nine total locations in Bennington and nearby New York and Massachusetts. Through visionary partnerships with Dartmouth-Hitchcock, Castleton University, and others, nearly 1,400 employees emulate the values of quality, empathy, safety, teamwork and stewardship to fulfill their mission of exceptional care and comfort for the 75,000 people they serve. Their collective commitment to quality care and innovation is recognized by the nation’s most stringent regulators and the industry’s leading professional organizations, including The Joint Commission, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and the American Nurses Credentialing Center.

We’ve got more. When it comes to specialty care close to home, we’ve got our community covered. The providers at SVMC Northshire Campus are here for you and your family.

“With family medicine, pediatrics, and these new specialties all right here, a family could conceivably receive all of their care under this one roof,” said Robert Schwartz, MD, SVMC Northshire Campus’s medical director and family medicine physician. “We think it is pretty special for a community this size to have that range of services available so close by.”

SVMC Northshire Campus has achieved recognition for providing personalized, effective, and efficient primary care required as a part of its designation as Patient Centered Medical Homes by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA). Patients may access several services not often available in doctor’s offices, including behavioral health services, diabetes education, and nutrition counseling, among others.

“We know that Northshire residents are busy people who are deeply engaged in their families and communities,” Schwartz said. “For many patients—especially those receiving pediatrics, family medicine or physical therapy—this change could cut travel time by 30 minutes or more each way. That’s time patients can spend doing the things they love.”

SVMC Northshire Campus in Manchester, VT, is now offering appointments with several specialists. Expanding the availability of appointments closer to patients’ homes makes receiving specialty care more convenient for Northshire residents.
