Northshire HR Council Discusses Rutland Health Center Plan
In Manchester the North Shire Human Resources Council examined the Southern Vermont Woman's Health Center in Rutland. Kathy Haus outlined that planning began February 1973 with doors opening that December. A six-woman staff, four part time doctors, and a 12 to 15 member board run a clinic offering exams, testing, contraception, pregnancy services, and counseling on a sliding pay scale. Councilors urged a smaller start for a local clinic and welcomed a future phoning service to guide residents to existing help. They noted possible federal rural funding and George Aiken backing, and scheduled Aug. 13 at Ethan Allen Community College to discuss next steps with medical center directors.
