This talk explores life in the early settlements of northern New York through the experiences of Clement S. Miner (1793-1871), grandfather of William H. Miner. Using documents from the archives of the Alice T. Miner Museum, we’ll follow Clement Miner from his time in the U.S. Army during the War of 1812, to his arrival in Chazy in the 1820s, to his later life as an established member of the town’s religious, educational, and economic institutions. Through a close look at the life of a single individual, we can better understand the patterns of work, family, and community that shaped rural life in the early 19th century.

UVM Health Network News Release  – Technological improvements to better meet patient needs

 Burlington, Vt. – It’s a life altering diagnosis that someone in Vermont and northern New York hears every day, “I’m sorry, you have cancer.” At a time when these patients are most vulnerable and looking for the best possible chance for survival, The University of Vermont Health Network is responding with an

investment in advanced technology that is a major step forward in the delivery of lifesaving radiation treatments patients need, close to home.

The Network is partnering with Varian – a company that specializes in imaging and cancer care technologies and services – on a multi-year strategy to replace and upgrade six state-of-the-art linear accelerators at Central Vermont Medical Center, The University of Vermont Medical Center, Alice Hyde Medical Center

and Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital. These machines are an important weapon for people requiring radiation therapy, targeting their tumors with pinpoint accuracy while preventing harm to nearby healthy tissue. They are used to treat cancers in numerous areas of the body, including brain, spine, lung, breast,

esophagus, stomach, rectum, uterus, prostate, bladder, liver and bones.

In addition to the new accelerators, a shared patient oncology care planning system and cloud-based software will be installed at the hospitals, allowing health system cancer experts to review patient treatment plans regardless of where in the Network a patient receives care. The work is part of the UVM Health Network’s commitment to provide patients in our region with high quality care in the state-of-the-art, modern facilities they deserve.

“The promise of our Network lies in the goal that no matter where you live in our region, Read more »
