excellent information which results in effective delivery & coordination of care, informed<br />
clinical decision making, efficient operations, and improved patient involvement.<br />

the health of our community, by optimizing reimbursement and improving our cost<br />

To Our Community…<br />
April <strong>2019</strong> marks my one-year anniversary as CEO here at Rutland Regional Medical Center,<br />
and I continue to be impressed with the organization and our community. This year also<br />
marks my 30 th year in healthcare administration, and I can honestly say that there are<br />
few community hospitals that perform as well as Rutland Regional in the areas of patient<br />
satisfaction, employee satisfaction, quality, and physician engagement. I am privileged to be<br />
leading such a high functioning and well-regarded organization.<br />
The healthcare system in the United States is in the midst of unprecedented uncertainty and<br />
change. Nine years after its passage, the Affordable Care Act continues to be hotly debated in<br />
Washington. Here in Vermont, several of our hospitals are experiencing significant financial<br />
challenges. Rutland Regional is fortunate to have built a strong balance sheet that will help us<br />
weather the storm.<br />
Although we have achieved much success over the years, we are not resting on our laurels<br />
but instead are making strategic investments to position Rutland Regional for continued growth and success. One of the most visible<br />
of these initiatives is the new medical office building project that is starting this year. Named after former president and CEO Tom<br />
Huebner, this new 34,000 square foot facility will provide needed space for our ENT & Audiology, Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation,<br />
and Vermont Orthopaedic Clinic medical practices. This is a significant investment that will help ensure the future of specialty<br />
physician services in our community for years to come.<br />
Another important initiative that may not be as visible is our entry into the OneCare Vermont Accountable Care Organization<br />
(ACO). The ACO provides a structure for Rutland Regional to partner more closely with the Community Health Centers of the<br />
Rutland Region, along with other health and social service agencies, to provide more coordinated care to our patients in order to<br />
improve quality and reduce unnecessary spending. Rutland Regional Medical Center’s participation in the ACO will result in better<br />
care for our patients and is in alignment with the healthcare reform goals of the State of Vermont.<br />
This year’s <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> is titled “Collaborating for a Healthy Community” and highlights some of the people and initiatives that are<br />
improving the delivery of healthcare here at Rutland Regional. I invite you to read more about how your hospital is working to create<br />
a healthier community.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Claudio Fort,<br />
President and CEO<br />

Leadership From the Community<br />
Rutland Regional Medical Center is<br />
privileged to recognize the individuals<br />
who continue to work diligently to<br />
advance our mission and steer the<br />
organization toward the future. As the<br />
largest community hospital in Vermont,<br />
Rutland Regional is dedicated to<br />
providing the best possible healthcare<br />
to patients throughout our local region<br />
and beyond.<br />
Each member is deeply invested not<br />
just in the success of our hospital, but<br />
also in the success of our community.<br />
“This volunteer board gives of their time,<br />
passion, and intellect to bring forth<br />
innovative ideas that have helped to<br />
make us the best community hospital<br />
in New England,” said Claudio Fort,<br />
Rutland Regional Medical Center<br />
President and CEO. “Rutland Regional<br />
is fortunate to have the leadership and<br />
expertise of business developers and<br />
owners, healthcare experts, financial<br />
authorities and legal professionals, each<br />
bringing their own depth of knowledge<br />
and experience to help guide our<br />
mission.”<br />
“Rutland Regional Medical Center provides a vital community<br />
service, so it is critically important that our Board of Directors<br />
ensure the highest quality of care and financial sustainability for the<br />
hospital. It is a privilege to serve our community in this way, and a<br />
responsibility that I and members of the Board take very seriously.”<br />

Giving Back for the Future<br />
The Rutland Area Medical Community<br />
Scholarship Campaign came to a close<br />
on December 12, 2018 by raising a total<br />
of $153,542. This completes a threeyear<br />
fundraising campaign to establish<br />
an endowed fund in support of annual<br />
scholarships for students pursuing a<br />
career in the healthcare field.<br />
We are grateful to the many Rutland<br />
area medical community donors –<br />
physicians, retired physicians, and<br />
medical professionals for their generosity<br />
in support of the campaign. Heartfelt<br />
thanks to the scholarship committee<br />
of volunteers who have overseen and<br />
supported this scholarship program<br />
for the past three years, with special<br />
acknowledgment to Dr. Stanley Shapiro<br />
for his vision, leadership and enthusiasm<br />
in guiding the committee and directing<br />
efforts throughout the campaign.<br />
“We are incredibly grateful to the Rutland<br />
area medical community for their<br />
ongoing support of this scholarship<br />
fund,” said Claudio Fort, President<br />
and CEO of Rutland Regional Medical<br />
Center. “Through their commitment and<br />
collaboration, opportunities have been<br />
created to help individuals pursue their<br />
goal of higher education in healthcare.”<br />
Dr. Stanley Shapiro, Medical Director<br />
of the Rutland Heart Center and<br />
Chair of the Rutland Area Medical<br />
Community Scholarship Committee<br />
added, “With the completion of the<br />
three-year campaign, our medical<br />
community has achieved a lasting<br />
benefit that will make a difference for<br />
others from this time forward. There<br />
are a great many to thank and share<br />
in this achievement, and it has been<br />
a very meaningful experience for all<br />
who have been involved.”<br />
“The achievement of this<br />
goal is just the beginning. As<br />
a medical community, we<br />
hope to grow the scholarship<br />
endowment over the next<br />
several years to provide<br />
even greater benefits to the<br />
recipients. The continued<br />
generosity of our Rutland<br />
area medical community,<br />
including physicians,<br />
retired physicians, nurse<br />
practitioners, and physicians<br />
assistants, is a demonstration<br />
of our commitment to the<br />
larger community.”<br />

General Surgery<br />
Rutland Regional Medical Center<br />
has had great success in recruiting a<br />
number of exceptional clinicians to<br />
our hospital. In fact, over the past<br />
year, 18 new medical staff members<br />
have joined our ranks in the specialty<br />
areas of endocrinology, general surgery,<br />
orthopaedics, pulmonology and<br />
psychiatry, among others.<br />
Rutland Regional is pleased to highlight our<br />
two new surgeons, Audrey Dudzik, MD<br />
and Michael Hurtado, MD. Dr. Dudzik<br />
received her undergraduate degrees in<br />
Microbiology and Spanish from Michigan<br />
State University, a Masters from Wayne<br />
State University, and Medical Degree from<br />
Brown University. She completed her<br />
residency in general surgery at Memorial<br />
Health University Medical Center in<br />
Savannah, Georgia, and is board-certified<br />
in general surgery.<br />
Dr. Hurtado received his BS in Biology<br />
from the University of Miami, Hialeah,<br />
Florida and his Medical Degree from the<br />
University of Miami School of Medicine.<br />
He completed his residency in general<br />
surgery at Mount Sinai Medical Center<br />
in Miami Beach, Florida and is boardcertified<br />
in general surgery.<br />

“We are fortunate to have two new surgeons in our practice, both just<br />
out of training. They are very personable, dynamic young surgeons<br />
who bring incredible assets to our established practice. These<br />
individuals, Audrey Dudzik and Michael Hurtado, are both fitting<br />
in well and working hard to be successful and provide good care<br />
in the tradition of Rutland General Surgery. Both myself and Brad<br />
Jimmo, MD continue to strive to provide great care for our patients<br />
and community along with helping our new partners be successful.”<br />
– Matthew Conway, MD, FACS, Medical Director, Rutland General Surgery
Rutland Community Collaborative<br />
The Rutland Community Collaborative<br />
(RCC) was formed approximately five<br />
years ago to improve collaboration<br />
among the community agencies that<br />
both directly and indirectly impact the<br />
health of our community. Over the<br />
years it has built on the success of the<br />
relationships it has fostered to become<br />
the cornerstone of Rutland’s healthcare<br />
reform and population health efforts. Its<br />
multi-layered mission involves bringing<br />
together stakeholders from the Rutland<br />
region to improve the communication<br />
and care delivered across the healthcare<br />
continuum. This is achieved, in part,<br />
by establishing clear, measurable, and<br />
actionable goals for improvement that are<br />
shared among all providers.<br />
The RCC is overseen by an Executive<br />
Committee which brings together the<br />
executive level leadership of all major<br />
healthcare providers in the region to<br />
ensure alignment and engagement<br />
of each organization. The goals and<br />
priorities are developed by the Core<br />
Team which is comprised of operational<br />
leaders representing the different subcommittees:<br />
Behavioral Health, Clinical<br />
Case Review, Transitions of Care, Palliative<br />
Care & Hospice, Data, and Education &<br />
Patient Engagement. Sub-committee work<br />
is brought back to a monthly Collaborative<br />
Stakeholder meeting. While the primary<br />
focus of the Collaborative Stakeholder<br />
meeting is to ensure transparency and<br />
public accountability of our efforts,<br />
it is also a wonderful opportunity for<br />
networking, relationship building, and<br />
celebration of successes. “We know that<br />
change takes time,” added RCC Facilitator<br />
Andrea Wicher, MSW. “People in the<br />
collaborative are aware of this and keep<br />
pushing forward.”<br />
“The enthusiasm of the<br />
RCC participants, and<br />
commitment to the health<br />
of our community is evident<br />
at the many meetings<br />
I have the privilege of<br />
attending. Whether we<br />
are discussing patient<br />
engagement, education,<br />
quality metrics, social<br />
determinants of health, or<br />
palliative and hospice care,<br />
the conversational focus is<br />
patient and family oriented.”<br />

Volunteers Making a Difference<br />
Navigating the many changes in<br />
healthcare is challenging to all hospitals,<br />
health systems and providers, yet<br />
through it all, volunteers continue to be<br />
a strong and supportive presence to staff<br />
at the center of the hospital’s mission<br />
– patient care. Rutland Regional’s<br />
Volunteer Program has been invaluable<br />
since the day Rutland Regional opened<br />
its doors over a hundred and twenty<br />
years ago. The program goals haven’t<br />
changed much in all that time; however,<br />
the department accomplishments have.<br />
When many leisure activities compete<br />
for people’s time, our volunteers<br />
consistently remain committed and<br />
engaged with the hospital’s work.<br />
This year 350 volunteers contributed<br />
52,181 hours of service supporting staff<br />
delivering quality patient care. The<br />
volunteers offer a diverse and wide<br />
range of support for staff, and services<br />
for patients. Their stories are memorable<br />
and their impact immeasurable!<br />

Comforts<br />
Hospital stays can be trying. You don’t<br />
have your favorite pillow, book, or even<br />
shampoo. It’s these little things that can<br />
make a big difference for patients. The<br />
Complimentary Cart Program at Rutland<br />
Regional Medical Center is a welcome<br />
presence that is available to all inpatients<br />
every day.<br />
It began in memory of former Food<br />
& Nutrition Services employee and<br />
beloved volunteer Janet Martin. Janet’s<br />
life was devoted to Rutland Regional, so<br />
friends and family wanted to honor her<br />
legacy by donating funds to start this<br />
program. Volunteers offer items from<br />
the cart to inpatients including books,<br />
magazines, playing cards, lip balm, and<br />
other personal care items. Books and<br />
magazines are donated by staff. Comfort<br />
and activity items are made possible<br />
by donations to the Rutland Health<br />
Foundation specified for this program.<br />
Donations may also be made to the<br />
Rutland Health Foundation’s Grateful<br />
Patient Program which was designed<br />
to offer patients, as well as their friends<br />
and family, a way to pay it forward and<br />
make a difference to other patients.<br />
The Complimentary Cart has also<br />
made it possible for volunteers to<br />
connect with patients and families on<br />
a personal level. It has helped to start<br />
many conversations, provide sources of<br />
comfort, and bring some laughter into<br />
people’s lives.<br />
“There so many stories to tell about our experience as volunteers. We feel we<br />
ease the patients stress and lessen the time staff spends in calming patients<br />
frazzled nerves and anxious feelings; we bring a measure of hope, caring<br />
and even distractions to those patients battling serious illnesses; and we<br />
provide the joy of lively discussions, reminiscence and laughter to others. It<br />
doesn’t matter what we have to give from the cart, it’s more about what we<br />
have to give from our hearts – the shoulder to cry on and the listening ear.<br />
In most, if not all cases, we have been enriched just as much as the patients.”<br />
– Bonnie and Bob Lucas, Complimentary Cart Volunteers<br />

Bowse Health Trust<br />
The Bowse Health Trust was developed in 1996 by Rutland Regional Health Services, the parent company of Rutland Regional<br />
Medical Center. It provides seed money to fund projects in the Rutland region that are aimed at improving the health status and is<br />
guided by the community health needs assessment. Since 1996, a total of 63 programs have been funded, which target residents of<br />
all ages in a variety of Rutland County communities; 78% of those programs are still operating in some capacity. With the additional<br />
$269,994 awarded in this round, the Bowse Health Trust has now committed over $4 million to improve the health of the community.<br />
The next grant cycle will be announced in April <strong>2019</strong>. This year’s three grants were awarded to:<br />
Rutland Suicide Safe Care<br />
Hosted by the Center for Health and Learning – $99,774 over three years<br />
The goal is to reduce barriers to mental health services and to decrease the deaths by suicide in<br />
Rutland County. By training a multitude of healthcare, mental healthcare, and social service providers<br />
in the principles of Zero Suicide, the Rutland region will be ready to respond and provide suicide safe<br />
care to all community members. Partners: Community Health Centers of the Rutland Region, Rutland<br />
Mental Health, and Rutland Regional Medical Center.<br />
Mill River ENGAGE!<br />
Hosted by Mill River Unified Union District – $72,220 over three years<br />
The goal is to provide robust out-of-school-hours, opportunities to enhance the academic, social,<br />
emotional, and mental health needs of students in grades 5-8. The program hopes to re-engage youth<br />
with creative endeavors, physical activity, and STEM applications, in order to positively impact the<br />
behaviors and emotional concerns faced by middle schoolers. Partners: Wonderfeet Kids’ Museum,<br />
College of St. Joseph, the MINT Maker Space, Vermont State Parks, and Vermont Fish and Wildlife.<br />
Farm-Based Experiential Learning<br />
Hosted by Vermont Farmers Food Center – $98,000 over three years<br />
The goal is to provide ground-to-table experiential learning surrounding local produce for K-12<br />
students in Rutland County. By helping students discover and participate in how their food is made,<br />
and the relationship of food and agriculture to their own bodies and health, VFFC is looking to<br />
develop a life-long investment in nutrition. Partners: Rutland City Rotary, Green Mountain College,<br />
University of Vermont Extension Program, Come Alive Outside, College of St. Joseph, and Rutland<br />
County Schools.<br />
The Bowse Health Trust Committee members volunteer their time to ensure that funds are distributed to organizations that improve the health of<br />
our community. The Rutland County Partnership for Health Steering Committee works with Rutland County to identify key community health needs.<br />

Community Benefits<br />
Rutland Regional Medical Center’s commitment to promoting health and providing the best care possible is something we<br />
provide all our patients and our community.<br />
As a nonprofit hospital, Rutland Regional is required to record its contributions back to the community it serves. Community<br />
benefits are defined as programs or activities that provide treatment and/or promote health and healing as a response to<br />
identified community needs.<br />
Improving Access to Health Services<br />
Rutland Regional works to promote better access with programs such as the In-Home Asthma Program, Advanced<br />
Directive Volunteer Explainers, and Bridges & Beyond.<br />
Advancing Medical or Health Knowledge<br />
Rutland Regional provides opportunities for continuing education for professionals and providers, as well as classes for the<br />
community on topics like Alzheimer’s, dementia, diabetes, chronic pain, depression and wellness.<br />
Enhancing the Health of the Community<br />
Rutland Regional donates resources and space to many community groups that are working on improving health and<br />
encourages employees to volunteer their time for health programs.<br />
Relieving or Reducing the Burden of Government or Other Community Efforts<br />
Rutland Regional provides low- and no-cost care for eligible residents of our area through a financial assistance program.<br />
True community benefit programs succeed when the activities are aligned with the needs the community has identified. With<br />
the 2018 Community Health Needs Assessment complete, the focus will shift to include the new priorities of supporting an<br />
aging community, mental health, housing as healthcare, and childcare and parenting supports.<br />
12
Community Health Needs Assessment<br />
Rutland Regional Medical Center has been performing these assessments since 1996; the voice of the community has long been<br />
important to the hospital. The priorities laid out also inform the work of the Bowse Health Trust.<br />
The full report is available at https://www.rrmc.org/about/community-health-needs-assessment<br />
Priorities of Focus for the Next Three Years<br />
Supporting an Aging Community<br />
The population in the Rutland region is aging, with the baby boomers comprising the dominant<br />
generation. Nearly 40% of Rutland county residents aged 65 and older live alone, and there is a 67%<br />
shortfall of geriatricians in the area. Feedback from focus groups and community leaders reflected that<br />
older Vermonters are more likely to want to stay in their homes and maintain their independence than to<br />
move to assisted living. Social isolation and falls are two leading concerns for this population, as well as<br />
supporting social determinants of health including food security and housing.<br />
Housing<br />
Nearly one-fifth of Rutland county residents reported severe housing problems in 2018, and nearly half<br />
of renters in the county pay one-third or more of their income towards rent. The aging housing market<br />
and high prevalence of homes with lead paint issues can cause structural issues that can impact people’s<br />
respiratory health and safety, as well as increase the prevalence of pests. There is a growing surge of<br />
bedbugs around the country, and Vermont is no exception. Infestations and unsafe conditions create<br />
barriers for agencies to enter the home to work with families, which creates gaps in social and health<br />
care for people dealing with such housing issues. The needs assessment process and stakeholder group<br />
have identified that stable, healthy and safe housing are a priority for the health of our community.<br />
Childcare and Parenting<br />
More than 70% of Vermont children under six years old have all parents in the workforce. This creates<br />
a significant gap between the amount of childcare provider slots and those who need childcare; in a<br />
national survey, lack of childcare was the primary reason for young women to leave the workforce which<br />
has a negative impact on the economy. Families also take many different forms; there is an increase in<br />
grandparents and extended family who are parenting, as well as families created through fosters and<br />
adoptions. Parents of all forms need support, both with childcare and socially, to help promote a healthy<br />
culture for our next generations to grow.<br />
Mental Health<br />
The Rutland region has the state’s lowest ratio of full-time equivalent mental health counselors to<br />
population at 28.5 FTE to 100,000 people, and slightly more than half of people with mental health<br />
diagnoses are currently in treatment. Nearly one-third of students in Rutland county reported significant<br />
depression symptoms, and 13% reported having a suicide plan. The demand for mental health services<br />
heavily outweighs the available resources. While looking to increase the number of providers available<br />
in the Rutland area, the stakeholders also emphasized the need to look within our community for peer<br />
supports and community involvement for those suffering from mental health issues.<br />
13
Passing the Baton in Nurse Leadership<br />
14<br />
Carol Egan, MSN, MSA, RN, NE-BC has<br />
a plan. As the Chief Nursing Officer at<br />
Rutland Regional Medical Center, she<br />
will hand over the position to Betsy<br />
Hassan, DNP, RN, NEA-BC at the end of<br />
July <strong>2019</strong>. However, Carol will stay on<br />
in a consultative position throughout<br />
the transition. This carefully planned<br />
exit strategy will allow a seamless<br />
progression as Betsy, currently the<br />
Senior Director of Nursing, Quality, and<br />
Training & Education, assumes the duties<br />
of Chief Nursing Officer.<br />
“Betsy is a natural leader, a great listener,<br />
and very bright,” said Carol. “I’m excited<br />
she will be my successor.”<br />
Rutland Regional is applying for its<br />
third Magnet ® Designation from the<br />
American Nurses Credentialing Center<br />
(ANCC) which is the highest and most<br />
prestigious distinction a healthcare<br />
organization can receive for nursing<br />
excellence and high-quality patient<br />
care. Carol will be working closely with<br />
Betsy in helping to prepare its Magnet<br />
submission and helping to prepare the<br />
organization for the ANCC site visit in<br />
January 2020.<br />
Among the accomplishments Carol is<br />
most proud of are the two previous<br />
Magnet Designations; the strong<br />
relationship with Castleton University’s<br />
Nursing Department enabling us<br />
to recruit new graduate nurses, as<br />
well as offer continuing education<br />
opportunities for current staff; and the<br />
implementation of the Nurse Residency<br />
Program where new graduate nurses<br />
convene monthly for trainings, support,<br />
and relationship building.<br />
“These designations have been critical in<br />
helping us to retain and recruit nurses,”<br />
Carol added. “They provide a sense of<br />
the community we have built within the<br />
hospital. We all know and care about<br />
each other.”<br />
After the baton is finally passed, Carol<br />
plans on spending more time with her<br />
grandchildren, trying to get to every<br />
basketball game and horse show.<br />
“I’ve loved it here. This has<br />
been my family. I know our<br />
transition plan is strong, and<br />
I’m confident in Betsy. I am<br />
also very proud of the nurses<br />
at Rutland Regional.”<br />
– Carol Egan, MSN, MSA, RN, NE-BC,<br />
Chief Nursing Officer
Come Alive Outside Partnership<br />
Over the past three years, Rutland<br />
Regional Medical Center has partnered<br />
with Come Alive Outside, an organization<br />
dedicated to helping adults and children<br />
connect with healthy outdoor activities.<br />
During the spring, scores of elementary<br />
school children converge on land the<br />
hospital sets aside to plant pumpkins<br />
and sunflowers that will be harvested in<br />
the fall. There are also a host of other<br />
activities built into these events that<br />
teach children about nature, recycling,<br />
and sustainability. These collaborations<br />
would not be successful without strong<br />
community alliances with organizations<br />
like Carpenter & Costin, GE Aviation,<br />
Rutland Recreation & Parks Department,<br />
Rutland County Solid Waste District,<br />
Vermont Department of Health, and<br />
Wonderfeet Kids’ Museum.<br />
In addition, Come Alive Outside and<br />
Rutland Regional have launched<br />
programs that incentivize and track<br />
healthy, active behaviors all year long. In<br />
2018, the 100 Miles in 100 Days program<br />
engaged over 800 participants in Rutland<br />
County to establish daily walking habits.<br />
The Park Rx program, supported through<br />
the Bowse Health Trust, works with<br />
primary care providers to write patient<br />
prescriptions for increased outdoor<br />
activities. The Passport Program reached<br />
over 4,000 elementary students allowing<br />
them to earn points and win prizes for<br />
visiting parks and engaging in healthy<br />
outdoor activities during summer and<br />
winter vacations.<br />
“Our partnership with<br />
Rutland Regional Medical<br />
Center is the driving force<br />
behind our efforts to<br />
incentivize wellness through<br />
the joy of spending time<br />
outside. The hospital has<br />
been ahead of the curve for<br />
years by being out in the<br />
community actively driving<br />
the health and wellbeing of<br />
the population that it serves.”<br />
– Andy Paluch, Executive Director,<br />

Sweet Support<br />
Fundraising With a Twist<br />
For Mark and Nancy Foley it began in<br />
2016, with a bright yellow ice cream<br />
truck and a clever name, Happy Cow<br />
Cones. Having been long time and<br />
very generous benefactors of the Foley<br />
Cancer Center at Rutland Regional<br />
Medical Center, they decided to come<br />
up with a creative and fun way to raise<br />
additional funds.<br />
So for the past three summers Mark and<br />
Nancy have crisscrossed the state of<br />
Vermont, parts of New Hampshire and<br />
New York peddling their delicious twist<br />
soft serve ice cream and other ice cold<br />
treats with all proceeds of their sales<br />
100% benefiting the Foley Cancer Center.<br />
Affectionately named “Mr. Moo”, Mark<br />
frequently wears a cow hat, much to the<br />
amusement of his younger customers.<br />
To date more than $92,000 has been<br />
donated to the Foley Cancer Center from<br />
Happy Cow Cones sales.<br />
As Mark aptly put it, “To be honest, I<br />
don’t think we ever realized what would<br />
be involved with this. We get so excited<br />
when we make a deposit and get closer<br />
to our goal. The time we spent on this<br />
is much more than we ever anticipated,<br />
but it feels so good. This has been an<br />
extremely rewarding experience.”<br />
“The money raised from these<br />
last three years of the Happy<br />
Cow Cones activities amazed<br />
us all. We thank Mark and<br />
Nancy so much for their<br />
hard work and dedication<br />
to the Rutland community,<br />
and especially to the Foley<br />
Cancer Center.”<br />
– Allan Eisemann, MD<br />
Generosity Made in Vermont<br />
The Rutland County Maple Producers’<br />
Sugar House at the Vermont State<br />
Fairgrounds is a beloved landmark. For<br />
over 50 years it has been a very popular<br />
destination during fair week featuring<br />
lots of maple syrup, maple candy, maple<br />
creemees and sundaes. In addition, the<br />
sugar house has also been a source of<br />
continuing education about the maple<br />
sugar industry.<br />
The Rutland County Maple Producers<br />
who oversee the sugar house are<br />
a tireless and dedicated group of<br />
individuals who support a number of<br />
organizations in our community, one<br />
being the Foley Cancer Center at Rutland<br />
Regional. Since 2015, they have donated<br />
more than $16,000 of proceeds from<br />
maple product sales to the Foley Cancer<br />
Center in support of cancer treatment<br />
and care. In the fall of 2018, the Rutland<br />
County Maple Producers unveiled their<br />
new maple syrup jug and announced a<br />
portion of those sales will also support<br />
the Foley Cancer Center.<br />
They are a shining example of the<br />
generous and giving spirit of our region.<br />
