BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) - The new hospital transformation plan, which lawmakers called for in 2022, suggests one hospital closure. Vermonters pay the most expensive premiums in the country, and hospitals are struggling amid an aging population and a shortage of providers. The plans from the Agency of Human Services and local hospitals say working together is the only way they’ll keep their doors open. The same year, legislators commissioned the $5 million transformation process.
