Health New England (HNE) Welcomes Southwestern Vermont Medical Center in Bennington, VT, to Our Provider Network
“One of the most important components of any health insurance product is the network of hospitals and physicians available to members,” said Peter Straley, HNE president and CEO. HNE is pleased to welcome Southwestern Vermont Medical Center (SVMC) to our commercial product provider network.”
SVMC offers a full range of hospital services including an award-winning emergency department. More than 130 physicians and their staff work together to provide compassionate care and superior patient outcomes. SVMC’s multidisciplinary approach provides patients access to preeminent physicians from virtually every medical specialty, who then collaborate to develop personalized treatment plans for each patient. “SVMC is very similar to the high-quality, patient-centered, and service-oriented hospitals in our existing network,” said Thomas H. Ebert, HNE chief medical officer.
SVMC has received many awards and accolades, including Nursing Magnet Hospital Recognition by the American Nurses Credentialing Center in August 2011. SVMC is the only Magnet hospital for nursing excellence in the Berkshires and Southern Vermont. SVMC, along with Baystate Medical Center, also in HNE’s provider network, are among just 5 percent of hospitals worldwide to have achieved Magnet status. Additionally, the Breast Care Program at SVMC is accredited by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers and is the only accredited program in Vermont.
