We remember him!!
Today is National Rural Health Care Day and we're so happy to share this wonderful story from Northern Vermont AHEC about Xavier Giddings, DNP, AGNP-C, Kingdom Internal Medicine's newest nurse practitioner.
Xavier is an alumnus of St. Johnsbury Academy and University of Vermont and the recipient of a 2017 AHEC Mimi Reardon Scholarship for Northern Vermont. We're grateful that he's chosen to come full circle and be part of our NVRH team, delivering compassionate, patient-centered care right here in the NEK. "His journey proves something we see again and again across Vermont’s health workforce pipeline," says AHEC's Alyssa Labare. "When young Vermonters are supported, encouraged, and exposed to healthcare early, they often come home to serve the very communities that shaped them."
