Spotlight on Vermont Blueprint for Health

Vermont's Blueprint for Health program provides comprehensive, coordinated care while improving health outcomes and reducing costs. The Innovations Exchange video series, Vermont Blueprint for Health: Working Together for Better Care, describes successful linkages among primary care, public health, and clinical community resources in the state of Vermont.
