TESTIMONIALS
"I’ve been very thankful for the Vermont Health Equity Initiative clinic during the past few years. The clinic has been a safe and inviting place for me to receive every round of the vaccine, and that meant the world especially during the most uncertain times. I know that they truly care about me and the well-being of our community.”

"When I think about the BIPOC Vaccination Clinic during these pandemic times, it actually is one of the most ground memories that I have. Being a person of color, living in this white state, I felt so cared for and tended to. All too often, as Black and Brown people in Vermont, we just get tossed into a recipe that was built for somebody else. With VHEI, you felt the intentionality from the jump. They build a model for us as Black and Brown folks to come and go through a time that was so unknown, difficult and without a clear end. We didn’t know what these times would hold but VHEI took care of us. They reminded you that they were with you in this. They made a moment in time that was so stressful feel so seamless. I’m forever grateful."
