Little Rivers Health Care is an independent, nonprofit community health center operating in rural Vermont with sites in Bradford, E. Corinth, and Wells River. As a federally qualified health center, it provides a range of primary care and related services, including well adult and adolescent care, well-child care, urgent and in-hospital care, obstetrics and gynecological care, counseling, home care, and rural outreach, supported by linkages to case management, social services, and oral health services. The organization serves medically underserved populations and health professional shortage areas, offering a sliding fee scale and ensuring no patient is turned away due to inability to pay, consistent with its charitable mission. LRHC is governed by a volunteer board, with a majority of members being users of its services, and is directed by a CEO reporting to the board; its service area spans multiple towns in northern Vermont. A recent collaboration with Capstone Community Action in 2021 aimed to address food access by distributing meals to individuals facing barriers to food security. The center operates as a community health organization within the hospitals and health care industry, providing care across multiple modalities and leveraging federal reimbursement and 330 grants to support its mission.” }# Answer Type: JSON object with a single field
