Green Mountain Care Board – Act 167 Community Meeting
In 2022, the Vermont legislature passed Act 167, which directed the Green Mountain Care Board (GMCB) and the state Agency of Human Services to develop community-informed and data-driven options to transform Vermont’s hospitals to improve access, affordability, quality and sustainability. The GMCB hired the national consulting firm, Oliver Wyman, to lead this process. This summer, Oliver Wyman is presenting its findings and options to hospitals and communities across the state. On August 1 at 7 p.m., Oliver Wyman will present its SVMC-specific findings at the Bennington Fire House.
