Winter 2024

Happy New Year!


We have had a busy fall with a successful worksite wellness conference in October, and now preparing for the Health Department's move to Waterbury:

  • The 2023 Vermont Worksite Wellness Awards and Conference was held October 24. The theme, Creating Organizational Culture to Support Employee Wellness drew over 350 participants who were all happy to be at this in-person conference after a three-year hiatus. Planning is underway for next year's conference and we will announce the date soon.
  • The Vermont Department of Health will be moving its offices to Waterbury this winter. This will be a staged move starting in late January. Our mailing address will change to Vermont Department of Health, 280 State Drive, Waterbury, VT 05671-8380. All other contact information (phone, email) will stay the same.


Here's hoping those of you that enjoy the snow will soon find conditions like those in the photo above (Sugarbush last season) very soon and that you have an active healthy winter season.
