UVM Health (University of Vermont Health Network) is a nonprofit academic health system headquartered in Burlington, Vermont, with 10,000+ employees and a footprint of seven hospitals plus a home health and hospice division spanning Vermont and northern New York. The network includes the flagship University of Vermont Medical Center (a Level I trauma center), Golisano Children's Hospital, Central Vermont Medical Center, Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital, Elizabethtown Community Hospital, Alice Hyde Medical Center, Porter Medical Center, and UVM Health – Home Health and Hospice in Colchester. Patients access services across the care continuum including emergency, acute, primary, specialty, home health, hospice, and clinical trials, primarily serving rural communities across the two-state region.

The system is affiliated with UVM Larner College of Medicine and UVM College of Nursing & Health Sciences for research and medical education, and participates in OneCare Vermont, an accountable care organization coordinating value-based care arrangements. Its technology stack includes Epic MyChart for patient access and a growing layer of third-party AI tools — Abridge AI scribe (deployed 2024), Heidi Health for independent practices via OneCare Vermont, and AI imaging assistants — aimed at reducing clinician administrative burden. Marketing channels span uvmhealth.org, the 'Living Healthy Together' podcast, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Facebook, alongside community events and wellness programs.

UVM Health's revenue is generated primarily through hospital and clinical services billed to commercial insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, and self-pay patients, with a home health and hospice subscription/recurring revenue stream. Pricing is not publicly disclosed for most services, though the system has pursued affordability initiatives delivering 12% lower commercial insurance rates and 25% lower MRI/CT costs versus baseline. Beginning January 2026, Vermont state policy changes including caps on commercial hospital prices and home infusion pricing imposed a $220 million annual revenue reduction (~10% of flagship medical center revenue), prompting a three-year, ~$300 million cost reduction program that eliminated 76 positions and restructured 66 roles. CEO Stephen Leffler is leading the response.
