Last update: 10 hours ago

Nursing Excellence: Rutland Regional Medical Center earned Magnet designation from the American Nurses Credentialing Center for the fourth straight time, highlighting continued nursing quality and patient-centered care. Child Care & Immigration Enforcement: A new UVM-led study finds intensified ICE activity between 2023 and 2025 reduced capacity in the formal childcare sector, with immigrant women seeing notable employment declines—raising stakes for families who rely on stable care. Child Care Funding Push: Vermont child care leaders say the 2025-2026 biennium delivered record support, including increased Child Care Financial Assistance Program funding and thousands of new spaces and jobs. Workforce Pathways: Vermont’s Veterinary Medical Association added its Certified Veterinary Assistant credential to the state’s Industry-Recognized Credentials list, strengthening career routes into veterinary medicine. Marijuana Policy Watch: Reporting on DOJ medical marijuana rescheduling notes benefits for businesses but continued federal-state gaps, with more federal hearings expected. Public Health & Safety: Vermont became the first state to ban paraquat, a weedkiller linked to higher Parkinson’s risk, with limited orchard/berry permits through 2030. Rural Hospital Access: Bipartisan federal legislation extends the Rural Community Hospital Demonstration for five more years, including Vermont hospitals in the program. Mental Health Training: Brattleboro Retreat’s doctoral psychology internship program was reaccredited by the American Psychological Association through 2035.
