SHOREHAM | Community Health Centers of the Rutland Region (CHCRR), including centers in Brandon and Shoreham, went tobacco free this summer, according to a news statement by CHCRR officials. The smoke-free environment was part of the reason why Vermont’s Department of Health recently awarded CHCRR with a bronze level ranking. The state awarded the employer “for promoting health and reducing the risk of chronic disease in the workplace.” Anna White, CHCRR human resources manager, was pleased with the bronze level ranking and spoke about the honor
noting that the tobacco-free decision reflects on the mission of the regional centers. “Our mission is to take care of the patients in our community, to provide them excellent care and make sure those needs are being met,” said White. “We want to be sure our employees’ health care needs are being met too. We want to promote wellness both for our patients and our employees.” According to White, CHCRR became a bronze level employer in the PLANTS AND PANTS GALORE! state’s 3-4-50 program as a result of the wellness measures in place throughout CHCRR’s network of primary care, peDress up diatrics, urgent care and dental centers your Home, in Rutland, Castleton, Office Brandon, or West Pawlet and Shoreham.
