The Ralston Community Health Clinic, located in Ward 3, serves as a place where Ralstonians can receive non-emergency medical attention without needing to leave the island. Before it was built, Ralstonians needed to travel to Burlington for routine medical care, significantly increasing the cost of even basic procedures. With the Ralston Community Health Clinic, citizens can get their vaccinations, check-ups, and basic prescriptions without the hassle of leaving Ralston.
The center takes all of the insurance providers common in the state of Vermont. It also partners with the local high school to offer CPR, first aid, and emergency medicine classes for interested students.
Building this new center has also helped significantly increase the number of people moving to Ralston. Qualified medical professionals have flocked to our island now that there is a place hiring them, and new families feel much better about moving here now that we have a local medical center.
