Board of Directors

The Board of Directors is made up of volunteers in the community dedicated to the health and success of the Mountain Valley Medical Clinic. One of the most important functions and responsibilities of being a Board Member is to participate in our Annual Fund campaign. Fundraising is paramount to sustaining the best medical care possible. Our status of being one of the last independent medical facilities in Vermont is one that we want to keep.
