Morrisville Local Health Office staff members are based in our community, promoting health and wellness in the towns we serve. We work on a variety of health topics in partnership with schools, worksites, town offices and local service providers. We also serve individuals and families right in our office. We invite you to learn about the many ways we can help you, your family and your community be healthy.

We work with community organizations, municipal and regional planners, schools and health care providers. We begin with conversations to learn what is important to our community. From there, we find ways to weave in health and wellness improvements that fit the priorities of our towns.
The Lamoille Valley Nutritionist Collaborative partners with Copley Hospital, the University of Vermont Extension, Salvation Farms and Hunger Free Vermont to offer hunger screening, service referrals, regular nutrition education, gleaning opportunities and community garden support.
Morristown's Oxbow Park is an example of how municipal parks are valuable spaces for families and communities to be active throughout the seasons. Physical activity is enhanced when the environment is smoke and vape-free. In 2018, Healthy Lamoille Valley and the Health Department collaborated with Morristown to design a no-tobacco/no-vaping sign and policy for the park.
Cambridge Elementary School created a travel plan that will help make their town a safer community for those who want to walk and bike to school. This process began with a walkability study that included support from various state associations. The school brought awareness to the community by participating in the International Walk to School Day. The school will maintain community awareness by participating in Walk-to School events.
In 2019, the Hyde Park Selectboard approved a Healthy Community Policy and signed a 3-4-50 commitment letter with the Health Department, a healthy community partner. By signing on as a 3-4-50 Partner, Hyde Park officials agrees to do what they can to create and sustain a healthy environment. One example is at the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail trailhead in Hyde Park, where you will see a healthy community sign encouraging users of the rail trail to keep it safe, clean and tobacco and vape free. You will also find historical reference signs that make using the trail even more interesting.
The Morrisville Local Health Office works with local partners to prepare, respond and recover from public health emergencies. We provide support and participate in hospital preparedness with Copley Hospital, help exercise hospital plans and serve on the Copley Emergency Preparedness Committee. We work with local, state and federal partners to make sure we are prepared to distribute medicine, supplies and information to residents of Lamoille Valley in a health emergency.
During certain public health emergencies, the Morrisville Local Health Office will set up a site for distributing medications. The site, called a “point of distribution” or POD site, helps the Health Department get medicine to people who need it as quickly as possible.
Are you a large local business or organization interested in becoming a distribution site? Contact our office at 802-888-7447.
The Lamoille Valley Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) is a community-based program of volunteers who donate their time and expertise to promote healthy living throughout the year and to prepare for and respond to emergencies. Volunteers set up and staff first aid stations at events, provide first aid and help community members prepare for emergencies.
MRC volunteers strengthen our community’s health and resiliency in the face of an emergency. You do not need to be in the medical field to volunteer.
