Southwestern Vermont Medical Center, a member of Dartmouth Health, has hired Kate Czaplinski as director of marketing and communications and public information officer. Czaplinski joins SVMC with over five years' experience in nonprofit communications and more than a decade in Connecticut news and media.
A Vermont resident since 2021, Czaplinski most recently served as director of development and communications for The Child & Family Guidance Center in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Her role included marketing all the agency’s programs and launching major fundraising initiatives for a new electronic health record and renovation of the agency’s outpatient clinic.
Vice President of Corporate Development Leslie Keefe said Czaplinski’s experience is a great fit for SVMC and its future goals and growth. “Having an experienced communications professional is crucial to keeping our community informed and educated,” Keefe said. “This role is also focused on ensuring we remain active listeners, responsive to feedback and needs of our patients, stakeholders and staff.”
