Valley Health Connections

We hope everyone is staying as cool as possible during this heat wave! If you need help cooling off, please use the tool provided to find your nearest cooling site!

Cooling centers across Vermont are now open to help residents stay safe during the extreme heat this week. If you or someone you know needs a place to cool down, please visit our interactive map here: https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/4fdb83b1ece3427ea81d83446ffb420b

If you need to find shelter, call 2-1-1.

Heat related illnesses can happen quickly and be very dangerous, so it's important to limit your time outside in the heat, stay hydrated and check on your neighbors. Pregnant people, infants and young children, and older Vermonters are at increased risk for heat-related illnesses!

Good morning, everyone. Unfortunately, illness has struck our office so we are closed again for in person work today. Staff are working remotely as much as possible. We will be back in person tomorrow!

Thank you,
Valley Health Connections

Our AC is broken and the office has become very hot and humid. The office is closing for the day. We will reopen for in person work on Monday.
