Southern Vermont AHEC Hosts Student Showcase

Montpelier, VT – The Southern Vermont AHEC wrapped up its MedQuest Program at Springfield Hospital with a student showcase in August, where students displayed posters which vividly portrayed their personal stories and ambitions in the health sector. Among the attendees were the students’ family and friends, as well as Springfield Hospital's CEO, Robert Adcock, and VP of Marketing & Development, Anna Smith. The event not only celebrated the students' achievements but also provided them with a valuable opportunity to discuss their journeys and aspirations, fostering a sense of motivation and pride among the young talents. 

The Vermont AHEC Network has engaged academic and community partners since 1999 to improve the distribution, diversity, supply, and quality of the health workforce in Vermont, especially in our rural and underserved communities.
