Trauma Support Program

Established in 1993, the Trauma Support Program at Rutland Regional Medical Center was, and still is, the first of its kind in Vermont . It was developed to meet the immediate and long-term needs of families impacted by sudden death or traumatic injury or illness.

Community volunteers have served in the program over the years. They take turns being on-call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Volunteers personally provide support and assistance to families impacted by a trauma or death in many ways, i.e., by being a liaison with medical personnel to get information or offering continued support via phone and correspondence.

This program has provided compassionate support to hundreds of families since February of 1993. If you want more information on becoming a member of this extremely caring group of volunteers, please call the Social Work Department at 802.747.3713.
