In 2022, the legislature allocated funding for GMCB to facilitate a statewide community engagement project to improve access, affordability, and sustainability of Vermont’s health care system. Throughout the community engagement process, there will be many opportunities for health care professionals and health care providers, human services and community-based organization representatives, employers, payers, community leaders, and Vermonters to share their experiences, perspectives, and insights. The goal is to identify community-informed opportunities to improve the sustainability of Vermont’s health care system.
To support the community meetings, GMCB has hired Oliver Wyman’s Health and Life Sciences Practice, experts in supporting health system design and transformation with a focus on understanding and meeting unique community needs. The Oliver Wyman team has extensive experience facilitating community conversations about complex issues, as well as experience in Vermont.
Oliver Wyman will be working directly with local hospitals, health care organizations and other community leaders to ensure a wide range of voices are represented in these discussions. Additionally, the public is encouraged to sign up for updates about community meetings in their regions.
Meetings are slated to begin in the fall (2023). When meeting information becomes available, it will be linked on this page. Please check back for updates.
