Here’s a lesson: Truly inconvenient and deeply challenging events always serve to refocus our attention on the essentials. Seriously, who has room for anything else? For our healthcare community, COVID-19 has re-affirmed the value of preparation, for responsibility and for the act of caring. Regarding the virus, locally we’ve been relatively fortunate. Some have suffered terrifically, with more to come. Most are well. Vermonters have been good with the public health fundamentals of social distancing and masking. We don’t see big crowds.

Their guidance has been excellent.

Hopkinson, who grew up in Addison County, says it’s important to understand that culturally, people in rural Vermont see behavioral health as separate from physical health and wellness. At Community Health, behavioral health is an integral part of primary care and overall wellness.
