Dorset resident joins Southwestern Vermont Health Care Foundation’s Regional Advisory Board

BENNINGTON, VT—February 17, 2025—The Southwestern Vermont Health Care (SVHC) Foundation’s Northshire Regional Advisory Board recently welcomed Dorset resident Vlad Ivanov.

Ivanov has been visiting the Manchester area since childhood before moving his family from Westchester, NY to the area full-time in June of 2022. Ivanov is a Managing Director and serves as the Co-Head of Healthcare Investment Banking at Lucid Capital Markets. He graduated from the University at Albany.

Ivanov currently lives in Dorset with his wife Caroline and daughter Chloe. He is active in the community, serving as treasurer for the Green Mountain SnoDogs snowmobile club and on the Board of Trustees for the Manchester Rod and Gun Club.

The Northshire board is one of four Regional Advisory Boards (RABs), which serve as ambassadors in each of the communities served by Southwestern Vermont Medical Center (SVMC), a member of Dartmouth Health. Volunteer members work closely with the Foundation Board of Directors and SVMC leadership to support initiatives that enhance and improve health care in the region.

“We are thrilled to have Vlad’s perspective and expertise on our board,” said Northshire RAB Chair Parker Rice. “He deeply cares for his community and, like his fellow RAB members, is committed to donating his time and talent to support the important work at SVMC.”

The Northshire RAB consists of 11 community members. New members are nominated by members of the group or by the health system.

Congratulations to SVMC's Graduates

As families around the region celebrate their graduates, SVMC is celebrating those who work here. We spoke with a few of our new registered nurses (RN) to see what it’s like to join the SVMC team at this unusual time in history.

Kelly Dobbert, RN

"Achieving this accomplishment during this time is certainly a unique situation… but an interesting time to come into the field. Even though there is a lot of uncertainty, I am very excited to be a part of the SVHC team!"

Katherine Doucette, RN
Bachelor's of Science in Nursing, Castleton University
"Graduating during a pandemic certainly has been interesting, but at the same time, it has provided the opportunity for a lot of unique memories! Our nursing pinning was virtual… and even though we didn’t have a graduation, we had cake and cupcakes in the Emergency Department on the night it was supposed to happen. Transitioning to my new role has been exciting, despite all that is going on, and I am looking forward to all that is to come!"

Meghan Jutras, RN
Associate's Degree in Nursing, Vermont Technical College
SVMC employee since 2014
"While it has been a stressful time to be a new graduate and finishing school during a pandemic, it has also been rewarding. It has given me a sense of how important it is to be flexible and goal oriented. I am thankful for the exceptional support from my co-workers and providers in the OB/GYN office. They have gone above and beyond throughout this journey. I plan to start my bachelor’s in Nursing in the fall."

Makayla Sonnet, RN
Associate's Degree in Nursing, Vermont Technical College
"Obtaining a nursing degree during this particular moment in history brought about many challenges and added stress. I am thankful that the amazing professors at Vermont Technical College were able to support my classmates and me in the transition to online learning. I am excited and grateful to be starting my nursing career in the Intensive Care Unit at SVMC."
