Michael Gardner, CEO, Welcomes You to Community Health

Michael Gardner, CEO

Welcome to Community Health!

I have had the pleasure of taking part in Community Health’s  growth since 2004 when I joined the newly created Community Health Center as Chief Financial Officer.

Seeing this organization develop into the invaluable community resource it is become has been an incredibly inspiring, energizing and heartwarming experience to say the least.

As CEO, and lifelong resident of Vermont, I am excited to envision the possibilities that lie ahead for Community Health!

We have exceptional opportunities to expand services, while educating my Community Health friends and neighbors about wellness, preventative care and the importance of paying attention to the physical and behavioral health of ourselves, and those whom we care most about.

Please make Community Health your medical home. Visit us annually for a wellness checkup and join us in our community as we work together to bring quality, affordable primary care to everyone.

About Community Health

All of us at Community Health look forward to taking care of the medical and dental needs for your entire family, something we’ve been doing since 2004. We operate Primary Care Medical Offices in Rutland, Brandon, Castleton, Shoreham and West Pawlet, Vermont.

We also offer Sliding Fee Scales to our patients who do not have medical insurance. The sliding scales are based on your income and family size. Please call one of our offices to make an appointment to find out if you qualify. One of our Outreach Coordinators will be happy to assist you.

Our Primary Care Offices offer a full range of services including:
