As concerns mount in our region about EEE, or eastern equine encephalitis, health experts recommend taking basic precautions to avoid mosquito bites. And while many people dislike the smell of insect repellant, using it correctly can prevent EEE and other deadly or life-altering diseases far better than products that contain only citronella or essential oils. Joseph Kennedy, MD, an emergency physician and medical toxicologist at UVM Medical Center, spoke with The New York Times earlier this summer about DEET, the active ingredient in many repellents. https://lnkd.in/eXZ5C582

To reduce barriers to employment and create more opportunities for career advancement, we invest in multiple English language programs for some 175 employees and counting. Xi Chen is one beneficiary. She settled in Vermont after fleeing Burundi, a nation in crisis. Despite arriving without knowing English, Xi eventually landed a job as a cleaner at a UVM Medical Center. She then signed up for the hospital's English language training programs, earning a licensed nurse assistant certification. Xi is currently enrolled in UVMMC’s RN pathway program which provides her support needed to work towards obtaining her RN degree.

Clinical documentation is an important but time-consuming part of medical care. It’s how patients’ histories are recorded and what allows clinicians at different sites to collaborate on care. The average person can type about 50 words a minute. Abridge, a technology that uses artificial intelligence to record, with a patient’s consent, conversations between patients and their health care providers, can do that much in the blink of an eye, and it can turn what it’s hearing into an organized set of notes almost instantaneously. That leaves a lot more time for your provider to focus on you and get deeper into the details of what you need.

The Culinary Medicine Program and its innovative offerings were in the spotlight today, as Adm. Rachel Levine, MD, Assistant Secretary for Health at the US Department of Health and Human Services, met with the team, toured UVM Medical Center’s rooftop garden and spent much of the day huddling with the dietitians, chefs and educators who have spent more than a decade pioneering food- and nutrition-based programs. As health care organizations across the country struggle to integrate nutrition-based practices into clinical services, or choose to forego the effort entirely, a small group of clinical dietitians at UVM Medical Center, led by a chef with a passion for sustainable and nutritious cuisine alongside dedicated chef and garden educators the team has cultured a unique, evidence-based program that provides hands-on education and health-improvement resources to patients and clinicians. Adm. Levine’s visit highlights a growing catalogue of resources and partnerships, and a program that has become a nationally-recognized leader for evidence-based integrations of culinary and clinical practices – but is often overlooked despite a sustained national effort to make preventative care and reducing hospital admissions the foundation of the country’s health care strategy.
