Source-derived summary

The University of Vermont Medical Center (UVMMC) is a five-campus academic medical facility under the corporate umbrella of the University of Vermont Health Network that is anchored by a 562-bed hospital in Burlington, Vermont. UVMMC is based in Burlington and serves as both a regional referral center (providing advanced care to approximately one million people in Vermont and northern New York) and a community hospital (for approximately 160,000 residents in the Chittenden and Grand Isle Vermont counties). The hospital was formerly known as the Medical Center Hospital of Vermont and later as Fletcher Allen Health Care until getting its current name. It is affiliated with the University of Vermont's Robert Larner College of Medicine and its College of Nursing and Health Sciences.

Overview

The University of Vermont Medical Center ("UVM Medical Center") consists of four major campuses:

Medical Center Campus, Burlington, a 562 licensed-bed facility that includes most inpatient services, the Vermont Children's Hospital, an emergency department, an outpatient pharmacy, and an Ambulatory Care Center for outpatient services.

1 South Prospect Street (formerly known as University Health Center), Burlington, includes outpatient services, pharmacy, laboratory, and radiology, and is near the main medical center campus and adjacent to the University of Vermont's main campus.

Fanny Allen Campus, Colchester, includes inpatient rehab, a Walk-In Care Center, radiology, laboratory, pharmacy, outpatient rehab, physical therapy, work-related rehabilitation, occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology.

Tilley Drive Campus, South Burlington, includes orthopedics, cardiology, physical therapy, sports rehabilitation, and diabetes support.

The organization also includes more than 30 patient-care sites and more than 100 outreach clinics, programs and services throughout Vermont and northern New York, including 11 primary care group practices, and generates approximately one billion in annual revenue. The UVM Medical Center is also affiliated, through the University of Vermont Health Network corporate umbrella, with Central Vermont Medical Center, Porter Medical Center, and the Visiting Nurse Association of Chittenden and Grand Isle, located in Vermont, as well as Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital, Alice Hyde Medical Center, and Elizabethtown Community Hospital, located in northern New York.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “University of Vermont Medical Center” as hospital in Vermont, United States. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA concise reference frame for defining the subject, testing terminology and identifying the institution closest to the evidence. The current 338-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1879-01-01. The account is most persuasive where University, Vermont and Medical can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as hospital in Vermont, United States. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 1, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5458760. VIAF identifies the subject as 148083055. The Library of Congress control number is no2002038479. Authority coordinates are 44.480, -73.194. 4 of 8 selected statements include explicit references; 4 carry qualifiers and 1 use preferred rank.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
