This fall, the College of Nursing and Health Sciences made a groundbreaking impact in the community with the opening of the Appletree Bay Nurse Practitioner Primary Care Practice - an innovative national model for healthcare delivery - and the launch of a chapter of the National Stuttering Association.
The brainchild of Rosemary Dale, clinical professor of nursing and chair of the Department of Nursing, Appletree Bay Primary Care officially opened in August. 
Communication sciences and disorders faculty members Barry Guitar and Danra Kazenski founded the Burlington chapter of the National Stuttering Association this fall, creating a powerful network for the 6,000 Vermonters who stutter. 
UVM athletic training students, faculty, and alumni joined the KeyBank Vermont City Marathon – a marathon and relay for approximately 8500 runners – as members of the medical team this spring. 
The Aphasia Choir - comprised of ten stroke survivors with aphasia plus ten spouses and volunteers - performed a free, public concert in June in honor of National Aphasia Awareness Month. 
Having juggled the roles of nurse, professor, and administrator, Pamela Hinds ’73 knows firsthand the challenges nurses face in trying to add conducting research to that mix: long work hours, a focus on patient care, and little time to earn advanced degrees. 
Anne E. Huot, UVM medical technology alumna, former interim dean of the College of Nursing and Health Sciences, and former executive dean of the UVM Graduate College, announced an endowment of the Rene Charles Lachapelle Fund at Keene State College. 
A former member of the College of Nursing and Health Sciences Advisory Board, Nancy Colodny attended Wellesley College and the University of Maryland, and worked as a computer consultant and systems engineer for IBM. 
“My scholarship means being able to afford medical school, which has always been my real dream,” says Russo. Without it, she knows the road to realizing her dream would be that much longer.
