"Recovery Day reminds us that recovery is possible, that community matters, and that we all have a role to play in creating the conditions for people to heal and thrive," says Carolyn Towne, Substance Misuse Prevention Director at NVRH.

Today is Recovery Day in Vermont, bringing with it the opportunity to celebrate the many Vermonters who are in long-term recovery, and to offer hope and support for those seeking help. Today over 280 people in person and many others on-line, attended a Recovery Day celebration hosted by the Vermont Association of Mental Health and Addiction Recovery to highlight efforts made to increase access to recovery resources, to share stories, and remind everyone that no one needs to struggle alone.

Remember, recovery is not only possible, but probable, and the key is connection and community. If you or someone you know is in need of support, the VT Helplink https://vthelplink.org/ is a great place to start.

Are you skipping mammograms, colonoscopies or screenings for prostate or cervical cancer? We want to know why! Take a 3-minute survey to help us understand what we can do to make it easier to get the care you need to stay healthy. Health screenings are one of the most important tools we have to detect cancers early when they're more treatable, leading to better outcomes. Scan the QR code or go to https://bit.ly/screening2026.

This work was supported by the Dartmouth Cancer Center’s Community Outreach and Engagement initiative.

In October 2024, following a six-mile hike, artist Lori Hinrichsen started having unusual symptoms and called 911. EMTs transported her to NVRH where ED staff confirmed that she was having a heart attack. She was quickly treated and transported by helicopter to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center where she underwent life-saving surgery.

Heart attack symptoms can be subtle, especially in women, and can include nausea, shortness of breath, and fatigue. An active walker, kayaker and skier, Lori was aware of the cardiac issues that run in her family, so she paid close attention to the symptoms she was experiencing that day. Her self-awareness helped save her life.

“Lori trusted her instincts when something felt off, and that decision, along with the swift care from Lyndon Rescue, helped us diagnose and treat her in time,” says ED physician Dr. John "Nez" Nesbitt (shown here with Lori in 2025).

February is American Heart Month and Friday, February 6 is National Wear Red Day, raising awareness for women's heart health, educating people about heart disease, and promoting heart-healthy lifestyles. At NVRH we know that awareness can save lives so we'll be wearing red tomorrow!
