Situated alongside Lake Champlain, we are the largest private non-profit human services organization in the State of Vermont. Since 1865, Howard Center has been helping people and communities thrive by providing supports and services to address mental health, substance use, and developmental needs. Today, we employ 1,600 staff providing services in 60 locations serving more than 16,000 community members annually. Through our competitive and award-winning benefits, work-life balance and equal opportunity employment, we build teams of dedicated, passionate individuals who embrace our mission and are committed to making a lasting contribution to the lives of the people we serve. The world around us continues to change every day. At Howard Center, we believe it is vital to face new and unanticipated obstacles with all of our voices. We welcome applicants of all racial and ethnic backgrounds, identities and expressions, religious beliefs, disabilities, age groups, lived experiences and perspectives. In order to provide the best care for our clients, our aim is for our staff to be a reflection of the community we serve.

When we say we are a different kind of healthcare company, we mean we’re a better kind. What makes us better is that we guide people to take control of their own health. When people are given the tools they need to manage their own health and healthcare, the cost of healthcare is lower. We believe the best way to keep people healthy is to help them manage risk factors and chronic conditions, and to keep them from getting sick in the first place. To do this, we combine a powerful collection of onsite, near-site, network and virtual health services into a program tailored to your unique culture, setting, and workforce.

Working together to better serve our communities makes us stronger, focused on collaboration instead of competition. As a team, The University of Vermont Health Network improves the lives of our patients by delivering outstanding care cost-effectively, as close to patients'​ homes as possible. Our hospitals and physicians are bringing the best of community and academic medicine together, sharing their knowledge and resources to give patients access to leading-edge technology, advanced treatment options and the highest level of compassionate care are the heart and science of medicine. The University of Vermont Health Network cares for communities on both sides of Lake Champlain, from the Adirondacks to the Green Mountains and beyond.
