Officials with the Vermont Department of Health say that funding has supported work beyond the pandemic, including disease detection and prevention, addressing health disparities

The article from MSN discusses how Vermont is set to lose approximately $7.5 million in federal funding for health programs due to the end of the Public Health Emergency (PHE) related to the COVID-19 crisis. This funding cut will impact several key health initiatives including the Vermont Department of Health's efforts in substance use disorder treatment, mental health support, and emergency medical services. Specifically, the state will see reductions in funding for programs like the Substance Use Disorder Treatment and Recovery Access (STAR) program, which has been crucial in providing treatment and recovery support. Additionally, the loss of funds will affect the state's ability to maintain staffing levels for mental health crisis response teams and could lead to reduced services in rural areas where emergency medical services are already stretched thin. The article highlights concerns from state officials about the potential negative impacts on public health services at a time when the need for such services remains high.
