Philanthropy at UVM Medical Center
Philanthropic support from people like you enables our caregivers, scientists, educators and learners to change so many lives. The University of Vermont Medical Center Foundation connects generous support from patients, families, local businesses, employees and community members with the needs of UVM Medical Center.

Benefits of a Health System
UVM Medical Center is part of University of Vermont Health, a nonprofit, integrated health system serving over one million people in Vermont and northern New York.
When you donate to UVM Medical Center, your gift supports local people, programs and services, but any new understanding, approach or breakthrough is shared with our entire health system. This model ensures that no matter where an individual receives care from UVM Health–from downtown Burlington to rural Malone, NY– they benefit from the expertise developed at every partner organization.
