Clinic Returns to Barre
The clinic's newly renovated waiting room.
After operating nearly three months in a temporary location on the Central Vermont Medical Center campus following a devastating flood in late May, the People’s Health & Wellness Clinic has resumed seeing patients in its permanent space at 553 North Main Street in Barre.
Staff, contractors, and volunteers have spent weeks repairing flood damage, making building improvements, painting, and otherwise getting ready for the clinic’s return to Barre.
Clinic Director Peter Youngbaer said, “It’s certainly been a challenge all around. The building sustained a lot of damage, and we lost a lot of equipment, supplies, medicine, and furnishings. Thanks to our many generous donors, local businesses, efficient contractors, and volunteers, we’ve been able to make great progress in a very short time frame.” The clinic is planning an open house in the near future so the public can see the renovations.
The physical damage is fixed, but it has been a costly recovery. We need your help – now more than ever. Please make an online donation, or mail your donations to:

Thank you very much for your support at this time.
The People’s Health & Wellness Clinic mission is to provide primary health care and wellness education to the uninsured and underinsured community members of Central Vermont who cannot otherwise afford these services.
