We are preparing to launch online access to our sliding fee scale application, new patient registration forms, and annual patient packets. When the system is launched, forms may be completed on our secure portal straight from your computer or mobile device, and you will be able to upload supporting documentation. The objective is to add a convenient and safe way for completing forms and accessing care. All forms will remain available for completion by paper form and distribution in-clinic and by mail for those that do not have electronic access or simply prefer paper submission. 

Vermont launched an online compliance tool to report violations of the COVID-19 Executive Order. The tool accepts complaints of non-compliant lodging properties and online reservation suspension, non-compliant business operation, and non-compliance of restaurant on-premise consumption of food and drink. If you are curious or are interested in filing a complaint, the online tool is available by clicking here. 

Upcoming Meetings: We are offering three community meetings next week. On Monday, we will have a community meeting called “No Barriers to Care” about resources to access health care and prescription drugs through the support of our care coordinators and financial resources available through Little Rivers for access to care regardless of ability to pay. We have two meetings scheduled for Thursday: “Need a Doc?” at noon with information on how to easily establish care at Little Rivers and “Teen Speak” at 2PM. For more meeting information, please go to our home page at https://www.littlerivers.org/ and look for ‘Upcoming Events.’
