You may have seen news about recent changes to the Center for Disease Control’s childhood vaccine schedule.

Vaccines remain available at North Star Health. The Vermont Department of Health and our providers continue to follow the American Academy of Pediatrics’s recommendations to give children strong protection against preventable diseases.

It’s okay to have questions. Your child’s provider is here to talk through concerns, answer questions, and help you decide what’s best for your family.

Today, we honor Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy and his fight for equity and justice.

In 1966, Dr. King famously said, “Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health is the most shocking and the most inhuman because it often results in physical death.” His words still remind us why fair access to care matters.

His vision lives on through community health centers like ours, which work every day to serve those who need care most.

Today marks the 50th Anniversary of our Mountain Valley Health Center! 🎉

It all started back in 1976 in a converted real estate office. With a bold vision, the Mountain Valley Health Council set out to create a vital health care resource for Londonderry and the surrounding towns. After recruiting Dr. Roger Fox, who became a legendary country doctor, they went on to build the current health center and expand services with additional providers and staff. Though North Star didn't begin our partnership with Mountain Valley Health Council until 2015, we are proud to be a part of this institution that's served the community's health needs for FIVE decades.

We're working with the Council to plan a birthday bash for Mountain Valley this summer. Stay tuned! For now we hope you'll join us in celebrating this major accomplishment.
