Epoch of Change Predicted If Health Bill Passes
Dr. Thomas J. Boag of Burlington told UCS members at their annual dinner that a block of proposed state health legislation creating a Department of Mental Health and federal study funds could trigger an epoch of change in Vermont mental health care. He said integrating state hospitals and community services under a single agency would improve coverage and continuity, with a state commissioner as top administrator. The talk covered prevention aims and Vermont’s focus on returning patients to the community through rehabilitation programs. Trustees were elected and an amendment to allow endowment gifts was approved.
