What is Reinventing Health?


Reinventing Health is a non-profit organization supporting healthy lifestyles, lifelong learning and community well being.

Our goal is to foster upstream health and wellness options that will have a lasting positive impact on individuals and their communities.


Reinventing Health has been providing community health program development in Vermont for five years. Our work began with health education services to schools. Following several years of successful school based programs it became clear that children needed help sustaining healthy behaviors learned in school out in their community environments. Our challenge has become one of discovering models that would offer that support.

As a result of that process, our primary programmatic focus at this time is a concept we call Wellness Navigators, based on the Community Health Advisor model, which has been successful both nationally and internationally in reducing chronic disease, lowering health care costs, promoting healthy choices and increasing health literacy.



Reinventing Health has been generously supported by the following:

  Ottauquechee Health Foundation
  Vermont Caring Foundation of BC/BS
  Windham Foundation
  Mascoma Bank Foundation
  Merchants Bank Foundation
  Argo Foundation
  Byrne Foundation
  The Turrell Fund
  Unitarian-Universalist Social Action Fund
  And many other generous friends.

THANK YOU!
