Southwestern Vermont Health Care Undertakes Strategic Planning

Tags: finances | hospital | Vermont

Southwestern Vermont Health Care in Bennington, Vt., is in a strong financial position but is engaging in strategic planning for the future, according to a report by the Bennington Banner.


The organization, parent of Southwestern Vermont Medical Center, is on track to meet its goal of an operating gain of about $750,000 for the fiscal year that ends Oct. 1, but now it wants to aim higher.

"We have certainly a much stronger level of financial strength, and so our ability to take a step back and take a look at the bigger picture is much easier right now," said CEO Thomas Dee. "We're challenging all the things we've done in the past to see what makes sense and what doesn't make sense."

The health system has hired the firm Healthcare Futures of Chicago as part of its strategic planning process.
