Are you interested in providing input on the critical issue of work disability and Vermonters returning to work?

The Vermont Department of Labor’s Retaining Employment and Talent After Injury/Illness Network (RETAIN) is seeking provider participation in a Needs Assessment to support the development of services to help Vermonters return to work after illness or injury. OneCare is the health care partner for the RETAIN project.

In order to develop services that meet the needs of providers, patients, and employers, RETAIN is conducting Experience Groups to better understand gaps in services. This approach will help RETAIN develop high value disability prevention services without duplicating existing programs.

These Experience Groups for health care providers will be held in various locations throughout the state. Additionally, if your group has at least four participants, RETAIN will travel to your site on the date and time that works best for you.

Date Experience Group Location Time
August 29, 2019 Providers Brattleboro 7 – 8:30 am
September 5, 2019 Providers Burlington 7 – 8:30 am
September 18, 2019 Providers Rutland 7 – 8:30 am
October 3, 2019 Providers Bennington 7 – 8:30 am
October 16, 2019 Providers St. Johnsbury 7 – 8:30 am

To sign up or for more information, contact Dr. Deb Kennedy at Labor.RETAIN@vermont.gov or at 802-526-9777.
