From our nursing care to the depth and breadth of medical specialists, SVMC is Vermont's premier community hospital. 

The state's only Magnet Hospital for Nursing Excellence ... one of only two Vermont hospitals named as Mentors by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement. SVMC is tops in patient satisfaction, garnering two Summit Awards from Press Ganey, an independent satisfaction surveyor.

SVMC is a 99-bed community hospital. We offer outstanding care for outpatient and inpatient services. Here's an overview of what we offer:

The Center for Minimally Invasive Surgery: our surgeons have pioneered minimally invasive techniques for treating kidney cancer, spinal problems, and gastrointestinal disease.

The Birth Place: your birth your way, from innovative hypnobirthing and water births to pain control and parenting classes, the Birth Place puts women in control.

Integrative Therapies: not many hospitals offer complementary and alternative medicine side by side with traditional therapies. SVMC does!

Sleep Testing : with rooms that feel like home or a nice hotel, our sleep lab has the latest technology to find out what's keeping people awake.

Orthopedic Surgery: great surgeons and advanced technology to treat everything from carpal tunnel syndrome to sports injuries and joint replacement.

Sports Rehabilitation: no matter your sport, we know athletes, no one in the area can match our expertise in getting injured athletes back in the game.

Imaging and X-ray: our digital department offers the latest imaging tests, including CT, MRI, PET, ultrasound, nuclear imaging, X-ray, and fluoroscopy

Emergency Department: we staff our department with doctors who are all trained and certified in Emergency Medicine.

Laboratory: our full-service lab is accredited by the College of American Pathologists.

Hospitalists: SVMC was Vermont's first hospital to use round-the-clock hospital-based doctors focused only on caring for hospitalized patients.

Intensive Care: we have a dedicated ICU with remote patient monitoring (telemetry) and negative-pressure rooms for infection control.

Renal Dialysis: our outpatient renal dialysis unit serves southern Vermont, Northwestern Massachusetts, and eastern New York.
