This semester, CCS was a participant in the unique Public Health Partnership program with UVM Medical Center for the third consecutive year. Development Coordinator Mike Reilly served as Community Mentor to a group of seven first-year Med. Students at UVMMC, this year examining the positive health imppacts of community-integrated developmental services on health outcomes for DS consumers. Dr. Stephen Everse served as Faculty Mentor. Today was the last meeting of the semester-long partnership and we got a screen shot of the team! Next Wednesday our team, and all other participants (about 17 groups) in this year’s PHP program will present their final posters (virtually). Stay tuned.

THANK YOU, students – Mikaela, Mia, Jeremy, Nate, Devan, Rachek, and Tim, and Dr. Everse, Jesssie, Dr, Carney and all associated with this great effort, including United Wat of NW VT.
