The Rutland Herald highlighted three Larner College of Medicine–related business briefs on October 25, 2025:
- Prospero Gogo, M.D., professor of medicine and cardiologist at the University of Vermont and UVM Health, will travel to Washington, D.C., to urge Congress to fund the lifesaving HEARTS Act legislation designed to ensure every school is prepared to respond to a cardiac emergency. In Vermont, a law passed that will require cardiac emergency response plans in all Vermont schools and athletic venues.
- Peter A. Calabresi, M.D., professor and chair of the Department of Neurological Sciences at the University of Vermont and UVM Health, was elected to the National Academy of Medicine. Membership in NAM recognizes individuals who have demonstrated professional achievement and commitment to service.
- This past summer, the UVM Medical Center structural heart team launched its transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement program. The TTVR procedure is treatment for tricuspid valve regurgitation. The team uses thin, flexible tubes known as catheters to steer an artificial tricuspid valve into position in a patient’s heart, replacing the faulty original.
