The Osher Center for Integrative Health at the University of Vermont has appointed Cara Feldman-Hunt to director, succeeding Dr. Jon Porter, who is retiring. Feldman-Hunt has served as associate director at the center since it was established in 2022 by the San Francisco-based Bernard Osher Foundation.

The UVM center, one of only 10 Osher Centers across the United States, works with researchers, educators, clinicians and leaders in integrative health to optimize the health of individuals, communities and our planet.

Derek Karner, former financial adviser at Huntley Financial Services in Ludlow, has taken a similar position at Diamond Point Wealth Partners, based in Needham Heights, Massachusetts.

The move follows the February passing of Mark Huntley, a former two-term state representative who managed Huntley Financial for more than 25 years. The Huntley Financial Services name will be retired, though clients of Karner will experience no changes to their accounts, access or quality of service.

Karen Vincent, former senior talent acquisition consultant at National Life Group, has been hired as director of human resources at Wake Robin, a life plan retirement community in Shelburne.

Prior to her three-year tenure at National Life, Vincent worked for more than 20 years at the University of Vermont Medical Center, where she held several positions. She served her final 10 years there as a physician relations specialist.
