Ambulatory Care

Nobody likes to stay in the hospital, so the outpatient clinical care team at Central Vermont Medical Center offers a range of tests, procedures, and treatments at our Ambulatory Care program. 

We admit and discharge patients having surgical and endoscopy procedures, administer IV medications and blood transfusions, and provide care for patients having other outpatient procedures, such as eye laser treatments and chronic pain procedures.

Patients can count on our team of doctors, surgeons, and nurses to answer questions and thoroughly explain procedures and next steps in a comfortable, compassionate environment.
