North Star Health Community Forum Statement

At North Star Health, we value our patients and understand that any changes to healthcare can feel overwhelming. Recently, we made the difficult decision to consolidate our Rockingham Health Center with our Springfield and Charlestown locations, effective January 1, 2025. As highlighted by the Green Mountain Care Board’s recent guidance under Act 167, Vermont’s healthcare system is at a crossroads. This necessary decision reflects the evolving healthcare landscape and our commitment to ensuring long-term access to care.

We know this may feel challenging, and we’re here to help. You will have the option to follow your primary care provider to either our Springfield or Charlestown Health Centers (just a short drive from Rockingham), or you can choose another provider within North Star who is accepting new patients. Our team will work with patients to find the best solution based on their needs. We’re committed to helping patients make this transition as smooth as possible.

Your voice in this matter is meaningful. We invite stakeholders to join a community forum in the waiting room of the Rockingham Health Center on Thursday, November 14, 2024 at 5:30pm to discuss the change.
