SHIRENOMICS: THE HEALTHCARE OF TOMORROW IN SOUTHWESTERN VERMONT Regional agencies work to retain workforce and promote preventative health care outside the doctor’s office By Makayla-Courtney McGeeney in partnership with Southwestern Vermont Chamber of Commerce In Southwestern Vermont, also known as The Shires of Vermont, residents are never too far without a health clinic of some sort, or knowing someone who is employed by the largest growing industry.
