Committed to creating a healing environment for all.
At University of Vermont Health, dignity, respect, equity and justice are at the center of our work. We are always learning how to offer better care for all. We hold ourselves accountable to these principles and honor the diverse ways people move, think, communicate and experience the world.
Know Your Rights
We are dedicated to partnering with you to help achieve your personal health goals the best way possible while upholding your rights and treating you with compassion and respect. Together, we create an environment of mutual trust, where every patient, family member, visitor and team member treats one another with kindness, courtesy, and dignity.
We treat every person — patients, family members, visitors, employees, staff, community members and prospective employees or staff — with dignity and fairness. Upholding nondiscrimination policy strengthens the very foundation of our mission and ensures that every person who enters our care experiences compassion, inclusion, and respect.
We foster belonging by welcoming all patients, show compassion in every interaction, work in unity as a team, uphold integrity in all clinical and business decisions, and practice stewardship in the use of our resources to serve our communities, all in alignment with health care business ethics and legal standards that govern health care providers.
Equity. Belonging. Care for All.
We’re building a health system where every patient, employee and community member is valued, respected and empowered to thrive. Through inclusive communication, equitable policies and meaningful relationships, we’re cultivating a culture of trust, safety and belonging where everyone can access the care and the support they need.
