Medicare Open Enrollment, which runs from October 15 through December 7, will look different this year for 50,000 or so Vermonters whose Medicare Advantage Plans – UnitedHealthcare and Vermont Blue Advantage – will no longer offer coverage in Vermont in 2026. These individuals will have one choice: traditional Medicare, an excellent option that, in key ways, offers less restrictive coverage than Medicare Advantage plans.

For everyone transitioning to traditional Medicare, and for the folks new to Medicare, over the next months we will review the key components of Medicare (coverage, costs, benefits) and clarify differences between Medicare and Medicare Advantage.

CVHHH is teaming up with the Montpelier Senior Activity Center on October 14 and the Kellogg-Hubbard Library on October 15 for two free, all-ages presentations on advance care planning. Led by Dr. Kelley Elwell, CVHHH's Palliative Care Nurse Practitioner, these events are great opportunities to learn more and ask questions about creating an advance-care plan.

We hope you can join us!

CVHHH celebrated our incredible team at our annual Employee Appreciation Day earlier this week! The festivities included games, raffles for great prizes, a delicious lunch by Locarno's To Go, and a visit from the palmer lane maple creemee truck. To echo one of the appreciation messages shared during the event, our staff’s dedication, compassion, and hard work are the foundation of everything we do.

Thank you Team CVHHH!
