After close to 40 years, Rick Gagnon retired from active practice at Northeastern Vermont Regional Hospital (NVRH) Four Seasons Orthopaedics on December 9, 2020.

Gagnon began practicing at NVRH immediately after he completed his orthopaedic residency in Detroit, in July of 1982.

Many things have changed since he came to the Northeast Kingdom. When he began, all the physicians were in private practice. Today, most physicians are employed by hospital or other organizations.
