CHCB is working with The Creative Discourse Group to help us ensure health equity for ALL within our community. We are reaching out to our patients, partners and other community stakeholders to invite you to participate in an online survey developed by The Creative Discourse Group. We want to hear about your experience with CHCB, what we’re doing well and what we can do even better to serve our community.
Within the survey you will also be offered an opportunity to sign up to participate in one of several focus groups. Each of the people selected to participate in a focus group by Creative Discourse will receive a $50 gift certificate to a local grocery store. The feedback you provide will be vital to shaping our approaches to addressing racism as a public health emergency and eliminating barriers to care for ALL in our community.
Please visit this survey to sign up for one of the 6 focus groups available. All content from these discussions will be compiled by The Creative Discourse Group and remain entirely anonymous, used only for the purpose of building our capacity to address health equity in our communities. Please share this message with anyone you believe would be interested. Please contact equityauditinfo@chcb.org if you have any questions. Thank you in advance for your partnership and assistance, and thank you for being our patient!
You’re invited to join us virtually to celebrate CHCB’s 50th year of community health on the evening of October 28. The evening will include a presentation from Former Governor of Vermont, Howard Dean, MD. He will talk about his past work with CHCB and the importance of safety net health care systems throughout the decades. Audience participation and questions will be made available via the Zoom chat function.

As an undergraduate student, he studied Economics and Politics at Oberlin College in Ohio. He enjoyed a lengthy stretch of freewheeling during his twenties, during which time he worked with a labor union, a national park, and a vegetable farm, amongst many other seasonal adventures and assorted odds and ends. He attended medical school at UVM, and returns to Burlington after a three year hiatus in Rochester, NY, where he completed his residency in Family Medicine. Michael is excited to re-examine the Burlington creemee scene (which faces strong competition from Rochester’s frozen custard) and to find an old boat to sail on in Mallets Bay. He enjoys standard outdoorsy hobbies and is also interested in mental health, Spanish, saxophone, and reading. He is excited to join the OB team as part of CHCB’s Maternal/Child Health Program and is accepting new patients at our
