Rising Temps Means Increased Risk of Heat-Related Illness
Over the past few years, heat-related deaths have been steadily increasing. Just last year, a staggering 2,297 Americans died from overheating.
It is important, now more than ever, to make sure you’re familiar with the early warning signs of heat-related illness, how to treat it, and how to prevent it.
Yes, summer vacation has barely begun but there is one back-to-school requirement that should be on every caregiver’s mind: physicals. SVMC’s Director of Pediatrics Jaclyn Lozier, MD explains why you should make an effort to schedule them now.
Swimmer’s ear is a common, and sometimes painful, condition that affects water lovers and even people who don’t swim. The great news is that it's treatable and preventable.
We’re all familiar with the importance of wearing sunscreen to protect our skin from damaging UV rays. But did you know those same rays can cause irreversible damage to your eyes?

Green Mountain Care Board – Act 167 Community Meeting
In 2022, the Vermont legislature passed Act 167, which directed the Green Mountain Care Board (GMCB) and the state Agency of Human Services to develop community-informed and data-driven options to transform Vermont’s hospitals to improve access, affordability, quality and sustainability. The GMCB hired the national consulting firm, Oliver Wyman, to lead this process. This summer, Oliver Wyman is presenting its findings and options to hospitals and communities across the state. On August 1 at 7 p.m., Oliver Wyman will present its SVMC-specific findings at the Bennington Fire House.

iBerkshires.com Sports
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. -- Williamstown RSNE Thursday beat Wildcat Sports Group of Lee, 12-7, to win the Berkshire County Cal Ripken majors division championship.
RSNE took the first two games of the best-of-three series to claim the crown, winning, 14-4, in Lee on Tuesday.
In the deciding game, RSNE jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the first, but WSG struck right back in the second.
Again, the hosts pulled ahead, with three in the third to take a 7-4 lead, but Wildcat Sports Group, which got a 2-for-3 day at the plate from Finn L., came back to tie it, 7-7, in the top of the fifth.
In the bottom of the frame, Marco KoaMaya, Jake Perez and Charlie Sabot singled in a five-run rally that put RSNE on top for good.
Perez went 2-for-2 with a double and three RBIs to lead RSNE's offense. KoaMaya was 2-for-3 at the plate.
KoaMaya also threw three innings, allowing just one earned run, to earn the win on the mound in relief. Four RSNE pitchers combined to allow three earned runs and strike out 10.
