Davis winds down duties with Vermont health center
Former Gov Deane C Davis is phasing out as president and executive director of the Cooperative Health Information Center of Vermont after a 10 month statewide outreach. He will devote only a fourth of his time to the project, which collects medical data for state officials and the medical profession. The Montpelier office will close this week though Davis will keep ties via an office at National Life. The project enters year two of its grant as officials seek future state support.
