BENNINGTON, Vt. — Southwestern Vermont Medical Center's Northshire Campus welcomes Carolyn E. Goodwin, FNP-BC, CDE, and Arlene R. Law, FNP-BC, MBA, CCRN, CEN, CPEN, to the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Putnam Physicians. Both providers will serve existing and new patients.

Goodwin has worked for the last 15 years as a Family Nurse Practitioner. She graduated from Monmouth University with a master's in nursing as a Family Nurse Practitioner in 2001 and is board certified with the American Nurses Credentialing Center.
 
Goodwin worked in primary care for nine years caring for patients of all ages with both acute and chronic illnesses before specializing in diabetes and endocrinology. She worked for the Rutland Regional Diabetes and Endocrinology Center for five years before opening her own practice in Dorset as owner of Green Mountain House Calls. She has been a faculty member of the Community College of Vermont and has participated in training Nurse Practitioners from University of Vermont.


Law is a native of West Arlington, Vt., and a 2016 graduate of the St. Joseph's College of Maine’s Post Master Family Nurse Practitioner Certificate. She received maste's degrees in nursing and business from St. Joseph’s in 2014 and a bachelor’s in nursing from Curry College in Massachusetts in 1986.

Law has worked in various roles in the SVMC Emergency Department since 1999 and in full-time and per diem positions at several hospitals in the Capital Region of New York since 1991. She is board certified with the American Nurses Credentialing Center and holds many specialized certifications, including those for critical care, emergency nursing, and pediatric emergency nursing. In addition, she retired as a Lieutenant Commander after 20 years of service in the United States Navy.

These family nurse practitioners offer Northshire patients robust clinical training and a patient-centered approach. Northshire employs these nurse practitioners to provide appointments more quickly and see patients more promptly. Our associate providers, including nurse practitioners, work directly with a team to ensure patients receive the highest quality care available. An additional associate provider, a physician assistant, is expected to join the team after the start of the new year.

Companion Corner: Orion Still at Second Chance Animal Shelter

By Breanna SteeleiBerkshires Staff

GOOD NEWS: Orion has been adopted!

ARLINGTON, Vt. — Orion's had a hard live and he's been patiently waiting a very long time for his forever home.

 
iBerkshire's Companion Corner is a weekly series spotlighting an animal in our local shelters that is ready to find a home.
 
Orion is a 7- to 8-year-old pit bull mix who has been at Second Chance Animal Shelter since 2021. He was featured last August but still hasn't found a home. 
 
Shelter Manager Troy Quinn said Orion came to them from animal control after experiencing neglect.
 
"He was found by animal control on a property, tied to a tree, no shelter, no food or water. He was severely emaciated, very sick, very skinny, very weak. Brought him in, he tested positive for heartworm," Quinn said.
 
Once they rescued him, got rid of his heartworm, and got him up to normal weight, his silly and active side came out.
 
"He is a giant goofball. Loves to run, loves to play very rough house, loves to chew on his toys. Stuffed toys in particular, he just immediately shreds them," Quinn said.
