A shout out to one of our wonderful IBH-PC sites: the Northern Tier Center for Health in Richford, Vermont is a not-for-profit health center that provides family medicine and behavioral health services, along with pharmacy, lab, and dental facilities. In a rural setting, the Health Center found a new way to help meet community needs when it stepped in to operate a full-size grocery store in its building when the owner decided to close in June 2020. This example of people-centered care gives patients and others with limited transportation access to fresh fruit and vegetables at an affordable cost. Clearly, “integration” means learning how to bring together the services needed by each unique community to support health and wellness in many different ways.
