Castleton and Rutland open seven days

CHCRR providers will amaze you
with their numbers. Since August the

Saturday and Sunday)
• 2,900 flu shots
• 6,000 well child and
preventative visits

we take care of your teeth too!)

primary-care services that include
pediatrics, dental, behavioral health,
managed care, lab and pharmacy
services and urgent care.
And, we haven’t stopped adding the
most highly qualified professionals to
our team, including certified diabetes
counselors, certified insurance-
application counselors, pediatric-health
coaches, chronic-care management
specialists, addiction specialists, and
the most caring and skilled nurses and
doctors in all of Vermont.
CHCRR health-care heroes will
remind you to get a flu shot, wash
your hands, take your vitamins, get to
bed early, and when you need primary
and preventative care, “we are here,”
all day, all week, all year. Check
our website for dates and times of
CHCRR’s flu shot clinics.
And don’t miss the Teddy Bear Clinic.
We’ll be back at the Rutland WinterFest
