May is Speech-Language-Hearing Month--a great time to learn more about what NVRH's Speech-Language team can do for you.

"I suffered a severe concussion the beginning of December 2025 and was referred to speech therapy," says a recent patient. "Most people think of speech therapy as helping a child who stutters or needs help learning to talk. But they've been helping me improve my attention and reaction time and taught me a lot of tools. The staff make you feel important. They're friendly and care and I look forward to my appointments. More people should know about their cognitive rehab program for concussion and stroke!"

If you or someone you care about has a diagnosis such as stroke, dementia, Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s that affect your communication, ask your health care provider for a referral, call us at 802-748-5126, or email ent@nvrh.org.

The NVRH-sponsored Caledonia Flood soccer team got to be part of history this weekend, joining the Vermont Green women's team as they made their at-home debut! RN Katherine Siner, mother of two members of the Flood team, organized the outing to Burlington.

"Moments like this matter," she says. "Watching the Caledonia Flood girls so inspired and excited at the first-ever home match for the Vermont Green FC women's team showed us what representation in sports can do for young athletes."

NVRH recognized exceptional staff members on Thursday, May 14, celebrating Todd Brown, RN, with the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses® and Lab Assistant/Phlebotomist Noel Tetreault with the BEE Award, honoring the outstanding contributions of non-nursing staff.

The DAISY Award is part of the DAISY Foundation's mission to recognize the extraordinary care nurses provide their patients and their families every day. The DAISY (Diseases Attacking the Immune System) Foundation is a not-for-profit organization, established in memory of J. Patrick Barnes. Barnes died at the age of 33 from complications of the autoimmune disease Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura. The compassionate care Barnes and his family received from nurses while he was ill inspired this award.

Brown received multiple nominations for the DAISY award from both patients and colleagues.

“Todd always takes the extra time with patients and is an expert at making them feel at ease,” one co-worker wrote. “We even have a term for it on the floor, "TLC—Todd Loving Care.”

Noel was recognized for his professionalism, respect and excellent skills, with extra credit for a life-saving maneuver.

“I was getting a snack in our break room and I started choking,” recalled colleague Marcia McPartlen. “Noel happened to come through the door just then; all I had to do was point to my throat and he immediately sprang into action. He performed the Heimlich maneuver on me and saved my life. Eternally grateful to him. He was calm and professional the whole time and that helped me stay calm.”

Patients, families and colleagues may nominate nurses for the Daisy Award. DAISY nomination forms and collection boxes can be found throughout the hospital and at all NVRH medical practices. Electronic nominations can also be completed by visiting https://www.daisyfoundation.org/daisy-award/thank-your-nurse-nomination.

May 17 - 23 is National EMS Week, honoring EMTs, paramedics, and emergency medical personnel for their lifesaving service. The theme this year is "Improving Outcomes, Together," a perfect summary of how NVRH partners with our local emergency service providers.

"In the Northeast Kingdom, the distances are real, and the winters are long," says NVRH emergency physician Dr. Robert J. Grant. "When someone calls 911, it’s often a volunteer neighbor — an EMT or first responder — who shows up first. Then our ambulance crews arrive, take over the medical care, and stay with that patient all the way to our door. As a long-time emergency physician, I’ve seen what that dedication means. These are neighbors taking care of their neighbors. We are lucky to have them, and we are better because of them."

Alissa Fontaine, Emergency Management Coordinator at NVRH, appreciates the close-knit teamwork of local EMS. “My career in emergency management and hospital preparedness started in EMS, so these ambulance and first response agencies have a special place in my heart. Every one of these people plays an essential role in caring for our community, on rainy days, snowy days, holidays and weekends, whether they're out in the field or in the hospital. I see what an impact this work has and I'm so thankful."
